Following actor Jayam Ravi’s announcement of his divorce and a petition filed in Chennai Family Court, his wife Aarti Ravi expressed that she was blindsided and "shocked and saddened" by his handling of the situation.
Aarti Ravi shared a statement on Instagram, revealing she was unaware of Jayam Ravi’s public divorce announcement. She expressed being "shocked and saddened" by the news, emphasising that after 18 years of marriage, such matters should be handled with "grace, respect, and privacy."
Aarti also mentioned that she attempted to resolve their issues amicably and hoped to work on their marriage, but her efforts were unsuccessful. She stated, “I sought several opportunities to discuss things directly with my husband to honour our commitment to each other and our family. Unfortunately, I was denied this chance, leaving my children and me completely blindsided by the announcement.”
Aarti stated that the decision to end their marriage was solely Ravi’s and that she does not support it. She had previously remained silent to maintain dignity but felt compelled to speak out due to trolling and false public narratives blaming her. She emphasised her priority is her children’s well-being and will not ignore the unfair attacks on her character.
