Mahhi Vij on refusing to ask for alimony
“But still, I don’t ask for money from anyone, neither Jay. I think it’s his hard earned money. I was standing in the court , and the judge asked me four times to take the alimony. I didn’t take it. I have seen Jay has earned it,” she said.She clarified that her decision was not because Jay did not support her, but because she felt he had worked hard to earn his money.“Not that he has asked me not to take anything. I know his entire locker is open for me. But still. I don’t think so. He has worked hard. He has been standing on sets, working for 16 hours. It’s his hard-earned money,” she added.For the uninitiated, Mahhi got emotional after she had a clash with Arishfa Khan as the Sehar Hone Ko Hai actress supported Qazi Touqeer during her fight with him.
