Television’s popular actor and host Jay Bhanushali, also Bigg Boss 20 contestant Mahhi Vij’s ex-husband, took to his Instagram handle and announced he will no longer let his children watch the show. In an emotional note, Jay expressed his frustration over fellow contestants repeatedly bringing up his and Mahhi’s seven-year-old daughter, Tara, during house arguments.
Writing as a concerned father, Jay wrote in his note, “After witnessing everything on Bigg Boss, I have made one decision as a father: I will not let my children watch Bigg Boss anymore. I had decided that I will never speak about anyone’s game play or give my opinion about any particular contestant and support Mahhi wherever I am needed.”
Jay also pointed out other contestants of Bigg Boss 20 dragging daughter Tara’s name into the game: “JUST FOR A TASK-Yung DSA talking about my children growing up and feeling ashamed of their mother’s actions, Kanika saying she would never want to meet Mahhi’s children, and Love Gill’s mother bringing my daughter into the conversation by questioning how she would feel if someone said something similar about her daughter.”
Slamming the personal attacks, Jay reminded viewers that Tara is only seven years old and has nothing to do with the competition. “Tara is a 7-year-old baby; she is not a contestant of Bigg Boss. Getting a child to put someone down is absolutely nonsense. Honestly, why are our children being dragged into something they have absolutely no connection with?”
While acknowledging that disagreements are part of the format, Jay urged housemates to keep their criticism strictly limited to the game. “Bigg Boss is a game. Disagree with Mahhi, question her gameplay and challenge her decisions, but bringing her children, motherhood and personal life into it is crosding a boundary.”
Expressing his concerns, he wrote, ” As a father, I don’t want my children growing up with a trauma that Tara’s name is used in every sentence to put Mahhi down. The game may be entertainment for everyone, but for us, this is personal.
He concluded his note by prioritizing his family’s well-being over the show: “My children’s peace and innocence will always come first. Thank you. Good bye BIGG BOSS 20.”
Mahhi Vij jas been getting targeted by contestants for the past few days. Jay’s reaction comes after a high-voltage task inside the Bigg Boss 20 house, where several contestants ganged up on Mahhi Vij and questioned her motherhood.
