I had waited to inform Jay. When Jay came, he wanted to settle the bill but the cook demanded to be paid for the entire month. When Jay tried to reason out, he said ‘200 bihari laake khada kar dunga’ (I’ll get 200 people outside your house). He got drunk and started hurling abuses at us. We went to the cops. I don’t care if anything happens to me, but I was scared for my daughter."

Eventually, the two decided to lodge a police complaint against the cook. As per reports, the cook was arrested for a brief period and was later let out on bail. Reacting to the bail, Mahhi said, “When we went to the police station he kept calling me. I have all the recordings. Seeing whatever is happening everywhere, it is very scary. What if he stabs me? If something happens to me, people will protest later. What’s the point then? I am scared for my family’s safety. I heard he will be out on bail. What if he actually gets men after coming out of the jail and targets us?”

On August 21, 2019, Mahhi and Jay welcomed their daughter. The actress finally gave birth through a C-section delivery after several failed IVF attempts.

The couple tied the knot in 2011.
