Commenting on a post shared on Mahhi's social media account by her team, Jay assured, "Be strong, Mahhi. We both know we'll always be there for each other in hard times. Money was never between us and never will be. You and Tara will always be my responsibility for life. A marriage status can never change the love and respect I have for you both. I'm always here."

His response came after Mahhi was seen getting emotional on the reality show Bigg Boss 20 while speaking about her journey as a single mother, her decision not to accept alimony, and her determination to secure her daughter's future independently.

When Mahhi spoke about raising Tara independently

In one of the previous episodes of Bigg Boss 20, Mahhi spoke about her experience of raising Tara and explained why she chose not to take financial support from Jay in the form of alimony or maintenance. "I am a single mother. I know how my day goes. Jay pushes me to go out and live my life. He says, ‘You go out, you don't go anywhere. You sit at home for Tara'. My life revolves around my child. Do you know? I did not take a single alimony. I do everything on my own so that my child's life is secure," she said.

Mahhi further revealed that the judge had asked her four times during the court proceedings to reconsider her decision and accept alimony, but she maintained that Jay had worked hard for his earnings and that she did not wish to take his money.
