"I have a sick mother at home and three kids, out of which two understand what’s happening. I even got a message from Khushi saying, ‘Mumma, what the hell is this? 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.

Did I or Jay tell you that? When you have proof, then talk. Forget my case - I don’t even understand what alimony is.

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.
