Who is Alisha Shaikh? Viral Photo Links Jay Bhanushali to Younger Woman After Divorce News

Indian television actor Jay Bhanushali has come under intense public attention after a viral photo surfaced online, allegedly linking him to a much younger woman named Alisha Shaikh, shortly after he and actor Mahhi Vij announced their separation.

The couple recently shared a joint statement on social media confirming their decision to part ways after nearly 16 years together. They asked for privacy and said there was “no villain” in their story.

However, the viral image has triggered fresh speculation about the reason behind their split.

Who Is Alisha Shaikh?

According to unverified posts circulating on Reddit and social media, Alisha Shaikh is said to be 20 years old. She is being linked to Jay Bhanushali after a photo showing Jay with a young woman went viral.

Several posts claimed the woman in the image is Alisha and suggested that Jay may have been involved with her during his marriage. These claims remain unconfirmed.

So far, Jay Bhanushali, Mahhi Vij, and Alisha Shaikh have not commented on the viral picture or the allegations.

Social Media Reaction and Online Speculation

The viral photo has sparked heated discussions across social media platforms. Fans and users are debating the authenticity of the image and questioning its timing following the divorce announcement.

Many users have urged people to avoid jumping to conclusions until verified information is made public.

Mahhi Vij’s Subtle Response

After the separation announcement, Mahhi Vij updated her Instagram bio to read “Fighter.” She also shared a cryptic message on her Instagram Stories about kindness and positive energy.

Later, Mahhi posted an old happy photo with Jay. She clarified that her posts were not aimed at him. She accused certain media outlets of creating “false narratives” and misinterpreting her content.

Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij’s Marriage

Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij married in 2010, though they kept it private initially. Jay proposed to Mahhi on December 31, 2009, after dating for just three months.

The couple publicly confirmed their marriage in 2011. They share a daughter, Tara, born through IVF. They are also foster parents to two children, Khushi and Rajveer.

In their separation statement, both said they would continue to co-parent their children with love and respect.

What Happens Next?

As of now, the identity of Alisha Shaikh remains unverified by credible sources. Jay Bhanushali has not responded to cheating allegations, and no official clarification has been issued.

Fans continue to watch closely for updates, while many have expressed support for Mahhi during this emotionally difficult period.
