In a shocking turn of events, Aarti Ravi, the ex-wife of actor Jayam Ravi, has responded to the public divorce announcement he made on social media. According to her, the announcement was made without her knowledge or consent, leaving her and their children blindsided.
Days after Jayam Ravi took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal their separation, Aarti broke her silence on Instagram. In a heartfelt post, she expressed her sadness and disbelief at the announcement, stating that after 18 years of shared history, the news should have been handled with more grace and privacy.
Aarti shared that she had tried multiple times to discuss their marital issues directly with her husband. Unfortunately, her efforts to have an open and honest conversation were not successful, and the divorce announcement came as a complete surprise to her and their children.
She went on to explain that the decision to end their marriage was one-sided, made by Jayam Ravi without considering the impact it would have on their family. Aarti expressed her concerns that such a significant decision does not benefit their family.
Despite the pain caused by the situation, Aarti stated that she has chosen to maintain her dignity and avoid public comments until now. However, the false narratives circulating about her and the attacks on her character compelled her to speak up.
Aarti emphasized that her primary focus remains the well-being of her children. She cannot stand by while false accusations affect them, and she will not allow the narrative to continue unchallenged.
In her statement, she thanked the press, media, and fans for their continued support during this difficult time. Their kindness, she noted, has been a source of strength for her family.
Jayam Ravi, in his own note, stated that his decision was not made hastily but after much thought and discussion. He also requested privacy and urged fans to refrain from speculating or spreading rumors about their marriage.
The couple’s relationship, once celebrated publicly, began to show signs of strain when Aarti deleted her photos with Ravi on Instagram after their 15th wedding anniversary in June.
Jayam Ravi, known for his roles in films like “Jayam” and “Bommarillu,” is the son of veteran film editor A. Mohan. Aarti, the daughter of television producer Sujatha Vijayakumar, shares two sons with him, Aarav and Ayaan.
As the situation unfolds, both Jayam Ravi and Aarti have asked for privacy as they navigate this challenging chapter of their lives.
