Mahhi Vij is opening up about love, loss, and the friendships that survive heartbreak. On the upcoming episode of Tum Ho Naa – Ghar Ki Superstar, the actress discusses her separation from Jay Bhanushali with host Rajeev Khandelwal.
Jay is not just her ex. He is her best friend. Her family. And yes, her father has tea with him.
"Jay is my best friend right now, and he is my family," Mahhi said during the interview. Her father visits Jay, and they have tea together. "My papa also goes to Jay's place, they have tea. He also comes to us, and we have a really good relationship. There's no bitterness between us," she explained.
Mahhi credits her father's support for helping her through the separation. Instead of questioning or judging, he told her he would support whatever decision she made as long as she was happy. That backing gave her the courage to navigate the split.
She also addressed the pressure women face. "Girls are often told to keep adjusting and continue making things work no matter what," Mahhi said, reflecting on the social pressures and family judgment that women shoulder during breakups. Relatives criticize, society whispers, and women are left answering questions they never asked.
Mahhi and Jay chose respect over drama. Their bond did not vanish when the marriage did.
Fans have responded positively to the episode, with many praising Mahhi's candid approach. In Bollywood, this kind of mature friendship after a split is uncommon.
