Jay Bhanushali slams BB 20 contestants for dragging daughter Tara into Mahhi Vij row

Actor Jay Bhanushali has expressed his displeasure over Bigg Boss 20 contestants bringing his seven-year-old daughter Tara into their arguments with his ex-wife, Mahhi Vij. Calling out Yung DSA, Kanika Mann and Love Gill, Jay said that involving children in a reality show dispute was unacceptable and that he would prioritise his children's well-being over everything else.Jay shared a strongly worded note on Instagram explaining why he had decided not to comment on the contestants' gameplay or take sides in the ongoing arguments. However, he said that the remarks about his children had crossed a line.In his post, Jay wrote, "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 gameplay or give my opinion about any particular contestant and support Mahhi wherever I am needed."He went on to call out Yung DSA for suggesting that his children would grow up feeling ashamed of their mother's actions. He also objected to Kanika Mann saying that she would never want to meet Mahhi's children. Jay further mentioned Love Gill's mother, who brought Tara into the discussion while questioning how she would feel if someone made similar remarks about her daughter. "Tara is a seven-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?" he added.Jay also clarified that contestants were free to disagree with Mahhi's decisions and question her performance in the game, but involving her children, motherhood and personal life was unacceptable. "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 crossing a boundary," he wrote.Explaining his concerns as a father, Jay said he did not want his children to grow up with the trauma of seeing Tara's name repeatedly used to target their mother. He ended his note by making it clear that his children's peace and innocence would always come first, signing off with, "Good bye BIGG BOSS 20."Take a look at the note:Alongside the post, Jay wrote, "My kids are watching this and asking me questions. Requesting all, please don't tag me or my kids in any of this negativity. This post is not coming as Jay Bhanushali but as a father of my kids (sic)."Mahhi's team also responded to Jay's post, thanking him for standing up for their children. The comment read, "@ijaybhanushali This means more than words can express. Thank you for always putting our kids first. - Team Mahhi Vij."What happened between Mahhi Vij and Love Gill on Bigg Boss 20?The controversy comes amid escalating tensions between Mahhi and Love inside the Bigg Boss 20 house. Their disagreement began during a nomination task after Love confronted Mahhi over allegedly calling her a 'home breaker'.Mahhi clarified that the remark had come up during a conversation with ScoutOP, after Love had called her 'ping pong'. She maintained that she was only asking ScoutOP how Love would react if she used that particular word for her and said the comment had nothing to do with Kashvi or anything outside the house.The argument soon took a personal turn, with Love bringing up Mahhi's separation from Jay. In a Bigg Boss promo, Mahhi is seen getting emotional and warning Love against involving her husband in their disagreements."Mere pati ko kabhi bhi beech mein mat lana (Never bring my husband into this)," Mahhi tells Love.As Love attempts to explain her position to the other contestants, Mahhi becomes increasingly upset and eventually walks out of the room in tears. Amrapali Dubey and Yung DSA are also seen questioning Mahhi over her use of the 'home breaker' remark.Hosted by Salman Khan, Bigg Boss Season 20 streams on JioHotstar and airs on Colors TV.- Ends
