While Mahhi chose not to respond publicly, Ankita shared a detailed note on her Instagram story to stand strong by her friend and explain the true nature of Mahhi and Nadeem’s relationship.
She wrote, "Today, I want to say something-not as a celebrity, but as a friend. I am deeply disturbed by the way people are commenting on Mahi and Nadeem's relationship. I know Mahi, I know Nadeem, and I know Jai very well. I want to be very clear—Nadeem has always been a father figure to Mahi and Jai, and a father to Tara. That's it. Nothing else."
Ankita ended her note by saying, "My respect for him is immense. Mahi and Jai, you are doing a wonderful job as parents. God bless you. To those spreading negativity, please stop. Let people live their lives. Karma is watching. Mahi, I love you. Jai, I love you. And Nadeem, you are truly one of the best. You are a god-sent person for many of us!!"
Mahhi Vij reposted Ankita’s message in support of her.
