Following Jayam Ravi's public statements about his wife Aarti Ravi's alleged "controlling behavior", Aarti Ravi has responded with another public statement, addressing the ongoing commentary by Jayam Ravi.

Aarti Ravi releases new statement
In her statement, Aarti stressed that her decision to remain silent on the issue should not be taken as an admission of guilt or weakness. "In light of the ongoing public commentary surrounding my personal life, I find it important to emphasize that my silence is not a sign of weakness or guilt," she stated.
She also addressed her previous comments from her first statement, clarifying that they had been misinterpreted. She pointed out that her earlier statement referred specifically to a public announcement that was allegedly issued without her full knowledge or consent. "To be clear, my previous statement referred to the public announcement that was claimed to have been issued through mutual consent. I maintain that this came as a shock and was not a reference to the unilateral divorce that is underway," she explained.
Aarti also made a shocking revelation, stating that although she chooses to seek a resolution through private conversation, it has so far been denied by the actor. "I still hope for a private conversation on this matter, which to date has been denied," Aarti stated.
Shocking revelations
Aarti Ravi's statement comes after Jayam Ravi's latest allegations surrounding his strained relationship with his wife and mother-in-law. The actor, in a recent interview, revealed that he felt mistreated by his wife and her mother, stating that they showed him no respect.
He also mentioned that he hasn’t used WhatsApp for the past six years due to his wife’s constant monitoring of every message he received. He revealed that he sought police help to retrieve his car and personal items, which he alleges Aarti has kept from him. The Tamil actor claimed that Aarti prevented him from entering their home, while Aarti denied these allegations, asserting that Ravi decided not to come back.
Affair allegations
Jayam Ravi and Aarti's separation gained media attention after she stated she was unaware of the divorce announcement. The matter escalated when rumors of an alleged affair with a singer, Kenishaa Francis, emerged, further fueling speculation surrounding the couple’s separation. However, Jayam Ravi denied any wrongdoing and stated that he and Kenishaa had plans to open a healing center together, further requesting fans and the public to avoid involving others in the controversy.
