Television couple Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij have reportedly decided to end their marriage after years of togetherness. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the couple filed for divorce a few months ago, with the papers signed and finalised between July and August 2025. The report also states that the custody of their children has already been settled.

Rumours about their separation first surfaced in July 2025, but at the time, Mahhi chose not to address the speculation, saying she didn’t feel the need to clarify anything. A source told the publication, “Much was tried, but nothing changed. Separation happened a long time ago. They filed for divorce a couple of months back.”

Jay and Mahhi, who tied the knot in 2011, are parents to three children — daughter Tara, born in 2019, and foster children Rajveer and Khushi, whom they welcomed into their family in 2017.

Reportedly, the couple’s relationship began facing issues due to trust problems. Once known for their cheerful family vlogs and social media posts, Jay and Mahhi stopped sharing pictures together after June 2024. Their last public appearance was during Tara’s Labubu-themed birthday party in August 2024.

Recently, Jay shared photos from a trip to Tokyo with his daughter Tara, while Mahhi reportedly moved into a new home with the children two weeks ago. Despite their separation, the two maintain a cordial relationship online. When Mahhi commented playfully on Jay’s Tokyo reel, Jay replied warmly, hinting at mutual respect despite the split.

In an earlier interview with Hauterrfly, Mahhi addressed the divorce rumours, saying, “Even if it is the case, why should I tell you? People love to blame someone without knowing the truth.” She also spoke about the stigma around single mothers and divorce, urging society to “live and let live.”

Actress and singer Shehnaaz Gill has joined the list of celebrities who have hopped onto the burgeoning black alkaline water trend, following in the footsteps of Virat Kohli, Tiger Shroff, Malaika Arora, Karan Johar, and Karisma Kapoor. Famous for being outspoken, Shehnaaz recently spoke about her experience with the beverage and her unfiltered opinion has won people over.

In an interview with Curly Tales, Shehnaaz shared that she only consumes black alkaline water primarily during shoots but is not entirely sure of its claimed health benefits. “I drink it only during my shoots. It’s not too costly as such. It’s alkaline water; it contains minerals, that’s what I have heard,” she stated. Popular for her wit and simplicity, she continued, “If it was costly, I would think something expensive is going into me so I must drink more of it. It is also available for Rs 100, Rs 200, and even Rs 600. But truthfully, nothing gets done from having it — it’s water.

The actress also teased that she consumes it just because of the color. “I see black, so I’m drinking it assuming it’s black coffee. It tastes like regular water,” she said with a laugh. Shehnaaz also revealed that she is going to set up an alkaline water filter at home and has even heard that using such water to wash hair can enhance texture. “If it helps me after two or three months, I will do it,” she added.

Shehnaaz Gill’s honest approach to trends reflects her genuine ascension to fame. From a small-town Punjabi girl to one of India’s most popular entertainers, her rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. She started out in Punjabi music videos, making early appearances in tracks like Shiv Di Kitaab, before moving into Punjabi films in 2017. But her big break was with Bigg Boss 13 in 2019, where her raw personality, sense of humour, and emotional authenticity made her a favourite among viewers.

Post-Bigg Boss, Shehnaaz became a household name, featuring in blockbuster music videos, chat shows, and brand endorsements. She also turned to Bollywood without losing touch with Punjabi cinema.

The actress is now embarking on a new role as a producer in her upcoming Punjabi movie Ikk Kudi, which is a female-oriented drama delving into generational connections and contemporary womanhood. Initially scheduled for an earlier release, the movie will now be released in theatres on October 31, 2025.

Even while Shehnaaz tries out wellness trends, her true appeal is in her genuineness, wit, and unapologetic individuality traits that keep her one of India’s most endearing celebrities.

The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 saw a shocking double eviction, with Nehal Chudasama and Baseer Ali bidding farewell to the show. Their unexpected exit left both housemates and viewers stunned. However, what caught everyone’s attention was the emotional exchange between Nehal and her former close friend Farrhana Bhatt during Nehal’s exit.

As Nehal prepared to leave the Bigg Boss house, Farrhana leaned in for a hug, but Nehal refused, saying she was heartbroken. The two, once inseparable friends, had recently drifted apart after Farrhana confessed that she no longer felt the same peace in their friendship. Following Nehal’s departure, Farrhana broke down by the pool and confided in Tanya Mittal, expressing deep regret over her harsh words about Nehal. She even blamed Kunickaa Sadanand for creating misunderstandings between them.

In an emotional moment, Farrhana admitted feeling guilty for accusing Nehal of faking a “love angle” with Baseer Ali to gain attention on the show, lamenting, “She didn’t even hug me.”

After her eviction, Nehal took to her Instagram stories to respond to Farrhana’s breakdown. Sharing a clip of Farrhana crying after her exit, Nehal wrote, “I would never betray someone I give my heart to. Nehal Chudasama jisse dil deti hai uska bura chaahna meri fitrat hi nahi hai. And as I mentioned, ‘Main iske baad bhi tere saath khadi rahungi.’ Love and support for Farro.” Her post made it clear that, despite their fallout, Nehal continues to wish Farrhana well.

Meanwhile, the double eviction has sent shockwaves across the Bigg Boss fandom. Former contestants Rahul Vaidya and Diandra Soares took to social media to express surprise, especially at Baseer Ali’s early exit, calling it one of the most unexpected eliminations of the season.

The popular comedy-culinary program Laughter Chefs is set to come back with its third season following two big runs. Popular for its mixture of laughter, mayhem, and cooking in a peculiar format, the show has been an audience favourite for its rib-tickling blend of celebrity duos and ad-hoc entertainment. Season 3 will intensify the entertainment quotient with a new cast and even greater excitement.

On day one of the shoot, real-life couple Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash were seen on location, enjoying warm friendship with host Bharti Singh, sending fans into raptures. Tejasswi, who was a guest on the show earlier, will now be a contestant, while Karan is back for the third season. A viral moment on the set featured Tejasswi and Karan extending an invitation to Bharti to stand with them, and Tejasswi and Bharti by chance twinning in purple.

Bharti Singh, who is pregnant for the second time, was thrilled to be hosting the show again. She will continue to co-host with Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi, who brings his trademark energy and humor to the kitchen.

TV couple Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij have broken up after over a decade of marriage, as per a report in Hindustan Times. The couple, who got married in 2011, had filed for divorce a few months ago, and their break-up was legally settled between July and August 2025. The report also adds that the custody of their children has also been decided amicably.

Gossip regarding issues in their marriage first emerged in July 2025, but back then Mahhi had decided not to comment on it. In an interview with Hauterrfly, she had stated, “Even if it is true, why should I tell you? Are you my uncle? Will you pay the fee of my lawyer? Why do people make such a big deal over someone’s divorce or separation?

” Her response reflected frustration at the intense public scrutiny surrounding their personal lives. A person who was quoted by Hindustan Times confirmed that the couple was living apart for a long time. “Plenty of effort was made, but nothing worked. Separation occurred long ago. They had filed for divorce some two months ago. The documents were signed and finalized in July-August, and the kids’ custody also has been worked out,” said the source.

Jay and Mahhi are parents to three children — their biological daughter Tara, born in 2019, and their foster children Rajveer and Khushi, whom they took in back in 2017. The couple, once known for their close bond and family vlogs, reportedly began facing issues stemming from Mahhi’s trust concerns. Their social media activity also hinted at a distance; they stopped posting together after their last joint family video in June 2024. The two were seen in public together for the last time in August 2025, when they threw a Labubu-themed birthday party for Tara. Jay has since then posted photos from a Japanese trip with his daughters, while Mahhi is said to have moved into a new house with the children two weeks ago. The two still seem to get along well despite their breakup on social media.

Mahhi last week posted about Jay’s Tokyo Instagram reel, to which Jay replied lightheartedly, indicating that they still maintain a decent relationship as co-parents.

Looking back at people’s perceptions of divorce, Mahhi said, “People think there will be drama when a couple breaks up. There’s too much pressure from society. Just live and let live.” Their split, while highly personal, seems to be friendly and based on mutual respect, the closing of one door and the opening of another for both performers.
