The statement aimed to present a united front for their family's future.
Birthday Post Sparks Intense Rumors
Speculation intensified shortly after the separation news broke. Attention focused on Mahhi's relationship with Nadim Nadz, an associate of Salman Khan.
The rumors began when Mahhi shared a heartfelt birthday note for Nadim on Instagram. Her emotional message read, "Happy Birthday to the one I chose, not by chance, but by heart... you are my family, my safe place, my forever... With you, I can be myself – broken, happy, emotional, imperfect – and still feel completely accepted and loved."
This post appeared soon after her separation announcement. Its deeply personal tone led to widespread assumptions across social media.

She provided crucial clarification about their bond. Ankita added, "I know Mahi, Nadeem, and Jai very well. And I need to make this clear: Nadeem has always been a father figure to Mahi and Jai, and a father to Tara. That's all there is to it."
Her statement sought to correct the narrative. Ankita further noted, "As a friend, I can say this—Nadeem is someone who has stood by people, including me, in difficult times... Let people live their lives. Karma is watching."

This clear denial aimed to put an end to the malicious gossip.
