Key Highlights
- Account down: Mahhi Vij's Instagram account has reportedly been disabled while she is inside the Bigg Boss 20 house.
- Reason unknown: Neither Mahhi's team nor Instagram has explained why.

While Mahhi Vij continues her journey inside the Bigg Boss 20 house, her presence outside has taken an unexpected turn. Her Instagram account has reportedly been disabled. Searching for her profile, or clicking links shared by fan pages, now leads to a blank page.
The reason has not been made public. Instagram accounts can become unavailable for several reasons, from voluntary deactivation to action by the platform, and neither Mahhi's team nor Instagram has explained what happened in this case.
Why It Matters: A Contestant's Online Voice
For Bigg Boss contestants, social media accounts are usually run by their teams while they are inside the house. These accounts post updates, defend contestants and rally fan votes. An unavailable account means Mahhi's team loses one of its main channels to share her side, at a time when she is at the centre of several debates.
A Season of Talking Points
Mahhi entered the show after turning down offers for years, calling her decision a personal one. Since then, she has drawn attention for arguments with housemates, including one with Aman Gandhi over luggage, and criticism from some viewers who called her bossy. She has also had emotional moments, including breaking down while recalling a relative mocking her family's finances during her childhood.
Mahhi Vij's Career
Mahhi has been a familiar face on television for over 15 years. Her breakthrough came as Nakusha Patil in Colors TV's Laagi Tujhse Lagan (2009–2012), one of the most-watched Hindi general entertainment shows of its time. She later played Nandini in Balika Vadhu and appeared in Seher – Hone Ko Hai.
On reality television, she reached the finals of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 4, finishing fourth, and won Nach Baliye 5 in 2013 with Jay Bhanushali. She also took part in Khatron Ke Khiladi 7.

Jay Bhanushali on Time With Tara
Outside the house, Jay Bhanushali has been spending more time with their daughter, Tara. Asked by fans how he was managing, he said, "Well, I don't manage. I am really enjoying this time with her. I think the father-daughter bonding is more stronger now."
He added that he wants Mahhi to stay in the house for two reasons: "I really want her to win the show, and the second thing is I get more time with my daughter."
Mahhi and Jay married on November 11, 2011, and announced their separation in January 2026.
The Bottom Line
From Nakusha to the Bigg Boss house, Mahhi Vij has spent more than a decade in front of TV audiences. With her Instagram currently unavailable, fans will have to follow her latest chapter through the show itself.
