After the audio launch event of his upcoming film Brother, the actor addressed the press and asked the media to “live and let live.” Addressing the link-up rumours, he emphasized that Kenishaa is a popular singer who is also a healer, adding that they have plans to open a healing center together. “Stop dragging names, it's not okay. Kenishaa has done over 600 stage shows and has achieved it all by herself. She is a healer who has saved many lives and is also a licensed psychologist.

In a recent interview, the actor shared his side of the story and denied any attempts to tarnish his reputation. “When people try to bring down the image I have built over years through hard work, I can only laugh. It’s not easy to damage my name,” he said. Refuting claims that the divorce announcement came out of the blue, the actor added, “I sent a notice through my lawyer months ago, and Aarti's father acknowledged it. They even discussed it with my parents. How could they say I wasn’t accessible?”

He also addressed rumours about being absent for his son's birthday celebration, saying, “Aarav’s birthday was in June, and I was in Chennai to celebrate with him. There are photos from the event. As for claims about my car being spotted in different cities, I have every right to take my car wherever I want. After all, I bought it with my hard-earned money.” Ravi further mentioned that he’s been open with his son about the situation, revealing, “Aarav obviously wants us to stay together.”
