In another part of the episode, where Rajeev Khandelwal and Mahhi Vij were discussing the ill practice of dowry, Mahhi spoke about Jay Bhanushali’s parents, her former in-laws, and said that they did not make any kind of demands.

The rumours about Jay and Mahhi’s divorce had been going around for months before the couple announced their separation to the world. After announcing their separation, when their social media posts were being scrutinised heavily, Mahhi put out a statement that read, “For likes and comments, media can stoop to any level. My stories are not for Jay. Stop making it dirty just like your journalism.” She accompanied it with a picture of her and Jay.

Weeks before this, there was chatter that Mahhi Vij had made unreasonable alimony claims, but she shut these rumours down via her vlog. “Forget my case, but I don’t understand the concept of alimony. I have always believed that whoever earns the money should keep it. Women, too, should always be financially independent,” she said. In the same vlog, she added, “Jay is my family and will always be my family. He’s a wonderful father and a wonderful human being.”
