Early Life & Education

Mahhi Vij was born on April 1, 1982, in Delhi, India, into a middle-class family of Indian descent. Details about her parents and siblings are scarce.

Growing up in Delhi, Mahhi was a curious and imaginative child, drawn to the world of glamour from a young age.

Her resolve to avoid burdening her father fueled her early career, as she relied on modeling gigs to sustain herself, trusting that “somebody up in the heaven was looking after me.”
