Television actor Jay Bhanushali has left fans laughing with his witty response to a question about his love life months after announcing his separation from Mahhi Vij. During a recent “Ask Me Anything” session on Instagram, the actor was asked by a fan, “Do you have a girlfriend?” Instead of giving a direct answer, Jay replied with his trademark humour.
Sharing a photo of himself with his hand covering his eyes, Jay wrote, “Kyun dukhti nas daba rahe ho.” He then added, “Emraan Hashmi ke mausam mein Salman Khan wali zindagi jee raha hoon,” hinting that he is currently single. His hilarious response quickly grabbed attention on social media, with fans praising his sense of humour and honesty.
The interactive session also gave fans a glimpse into Jay’s personal preferences. When asked whether he preferred beaches or mountains, the actor replied, “Beach always,” while sharing a video of himself enjoying time on a yacht. Another fan asked about his favourite song, to which Jay revealed that “4U” by Maanu is currently on repeat in his playlist.
Jay Bhanushali and actress Mahhi Vij officially announced their separation in January 2026 after months of speculation, bringing an end to their 14-year marriage. In a joint statement, the former couple clarified that the decision was mutual and that there was “no villain” and “no negativity” behind their separation. They also reaffirmed their commitment to co-parenting their three children—Tara, Khushi and Rajveer—and ensuring that family remains their top priority.
Earlier this year, Mahhi Vij also opened up about their relationship after separation during an interview. She revealed that despite ending their marriage, she and Jay continue to share a strong bond. Calling him her “best friend” and “family,” Mahhi said both families remain closely connected, adding that her father still visits Jay’s home regularly while Jay also continues to stay in touch with her family.
Jay’s latest Instagram interaction has once again won over fans, proving that even while navigating a new phase in life, he hasn’t lost his trademark wit and charm.
