  "account": "Bigg Boss 20 contestant Mahhi Vij has been compared to fellow show winner Gauahar Khan by the show's production team. Mahhi, who recently announced her divorce from Jay Bhanushali after 14 years of marriage, has made her TV comeback with the show. When she met with the Bigg Boss 20 team, several members noted similarities between Mahhi's personality and Gauahar Khan's. Despite receiving comparisons, Mahhi remains positive about the opportunity, describing the show as a 'jeevandan' or life-changing experience. Her ex-husband Jay Bhanushali, who participated in Bigg Boss 15, has remained supportive of her decision and expressed emotions about missing their daughter Tara. Mahhi has addressed speculation about a potential romantic relationship with Nadeem Nadz, a friend of Salman Khan, emphasizing that her relationship with Nadeem remains respectful and positive.",
