Jayam Ravi's wife Aarti: The divorce was announced without my consent

Aarti, the estranged wife of actor Jayam Ravi, broke her silence on the divorce. She issued a detailed statement on Ravi's announcement of their divorce. In her statement, she mentioned that the announcement was made without her knowledge or consent. She also wrote that she tried to have an open dialogue with Ravi about their relationship, but her efforts were in vain.

Aarti said she was compelled to speak out as there have been attacks on her character ever since Ravi spoke about their separation. She explained that her focus now remains on the welfare of her two sons, Aarav and Ayaan.

Here is the article:

In the statement, Aarti wrote: “I was deeply shocked and saddened by the recent public announcement of our marriage, which was made without my knowledge or consent. After 18 years of being together, I believe that such a significant matter should be handled with the grace, respect and privacy it deserves.”

Aarti mentioned that she and her two children were completely surprised by the announcement and did not have a chance to speak to Ravi.

“Despite the pain this has caused, I have chosen to remain dignified and remain publicly reserved until now. It has been difficult to endure the false public portrayal that has wrongfully blamed me and exposed my character to attacks. As a mother, the well-being of my children is and will remain my top priority,” the statement said.

She added: “I cannot stand idly by while this story affects them and I will not allow these unfounded allegations to go unanswered. My focus remains on the well-being of our children and helping them navigate this difficult time with the strength and integrity they deserve. I trust that in time the full context of our situation will be understood (sic).”
