Following Ravi Mohan’s announcement of his separation from his wife in September last year, a controversy had erupted after Aarti claimed she learned about the divorce through his public statement. She expressed feeling “shocked and saddened” by the announcement and emphasised that she had tried to communicate with him beforehand but received no response. Adding to the tension, rumours began circulating about Ravi’s alleged relationship with singer and spiritual healer Kenishaa Francis, further intensifying the situation.

Tamil actor Jayam Ravi has changed his name to Ravi Mohan.

Matters escalated when Kenishaa disclosed that Ravi Mohan had contacted her in June for professional support, describing himself as “mentally and emotionally bruised and battered” by his marriage. She also accused Aarti and her family of “abusing” Ravi. In response, Aarti issued a firm statement clarifying that her silence should not be mistaken for weakness or guilt. She stated that she chose to maintain her dignity rather than engage with those trying to “portray me in bad light to conceal the truth”.
