Following her separation from Jay Bhanushali, actress Mahhi Vij has strongly condemned online trolls who linked her romantically with her best friend, Nadeem Nadz. Vij clarified that Nadim has been a father figure to her daughter Tara for years, a decision made jointly with Bhanushali. Actress Ankita Lokhande defended Vij, emphasizing Nadim's long-standing role as a father figure and trusted friend.
