Bigg Boss 20: Jay Bhanushali slams contestants for dragging daughter Tara into Mahhi Vij’s task: “This is crossing a boundary”
Bigg Boss 20 has been witnessing heated arguments and growing tensions among contestants. However, the latest controversy has extended beyond the show’s contestants, leaving television actor Jay Bhanushali upset. Jay has expressed his disappointment after his and Mahhi Vij’s seven-year-old daughter, Tara, was brought into a discussion during a captaincy task. Following the incident, the actor has announced that he will no longer allow his children to watch the reality show.
The latest promo of Bigg Boss 20 showed contestants Yung DSA, Kanika Mann and others targeting Mahhi Vij in an attempt to provoke a reaction from her during the captaincy task. However, the situation took an uncomfortable turn when the conversation involved Jay and Mahhi’s daughter. This did not go down well with Jay, who took to Instagram to express his displeasure.
Sharing a picture of Mahhi with their children, Tara, Khushi and Rajveer, Jay penned a detailed note explaining his stand on the matter. He began by stating that the incident had changed his perspective as a father. “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 wrote.

However, Jay went on to specifically address the remarks made by Yung DSA, Kanika Mann and Love Gill’s mother, expressing concern over the involvement of a young child in the contestants’ disagreements. “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. 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? 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,” Jay added.
Emphasising that his children’s well-being would remain his priority, “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. My children’s peace and innocence will always come first. Thank you. Goodbye, BIGG BOSS 20,” he concluded.
For the uninitiated, Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij announced their separation in January 2026 after spending several years together. In their joint statement, the former couple had shared that they had decided to take separate paths while continuing to support each other. Despite their separation, Jay’s latest statement makes it clear that their children’s well-being remains a priority.
