Why are they interfering in our personal life?’ Even the kids are being questioned in school,” she added. Requesting the media and social media users to be responsible, she says, “Nowadays every child has a phone. It hampers their mental health. You just print for likes and comments. Don’t put false narratives.”

Mahhi's response to the ₹5 crore alimony

One of the biggest viral claims made on social media was that Mahhi allegedly demanded ₹5 crore in alimony from Jay. Calling the rumour baseless, she said, "Let us live. Just because we are celebrities doesn’t mean we have to share everything with you. One of the posts said I demanded ₹5 crore alimony. Did I or Jay tell you that? When you have proof, then talk. Forget my case - I don’t even understand what alimony is. According to me, if a man has earned money, the wife has no right to it if they separate.”

Jay is Mahhi's "family"

Mahhi urged fans not to believe anything until she or Jay confirmed it. “Until you hear it from me, please don’t believe anything. Please respect our privacy, that of our kids and parents as well. It’s a request, please leave us alone. If we think we need to tell you something, we will. Jay is my family and will always be my family. He is a wonderful father to my child and a wonderful human being.”
