When Mahhi Vij addressed alimony rumours
Before the official announcement reports had suggested that Mahhi might be receiving Rs 5 crore in alimony from Jay Bhanushali with some claiming the divorce had been finalised between July and August 2025. Mahhi chose to respond directly through an 8-minute video on her YouTube channel.

She strongly addressed the rumours urging people not to believe news unless it comes directly from her. She said “Alimony ke baare mein jab tak aap log mere muh se nahi sunte kisi news pe mat jao. Jab proof ho tab baat kijiye. Mujhe alimony hi samajh nahi aata. Mere liye agar ek insaan paise kamaye hain toh ek aurat ka uss par haq nahi banta jab aap rishte se alag ho jaate ho. Main yeh baat apne liye nahi balki samaj ke liye as a woman keh rahi hoon. Mujhe lagta hai woh paise uss insaan ke hain jisne kamaye hain.”

Mahhi Vij further explained that when paths in a relationship diverge women should earn and sustain themselves independently and even while together every woman should strive to be financially independent rather than relying on her father’s or husband’s money; her statements not only addressed and shut down the alimony speculation but also highlighted her strong belief in the importance of financial independence for women.
