Two days after actor Jayam Ravi announced his decision to divorce and a day after he reportedly filed a petition in the Chennai Family Court, his wife, Aarti Ravi issued a statement on Wednesday.
In her note, Aarti expressed that she was blindsided by Ravi’s announcement and was ‘shocked and saddened by how he handled the situation.
Jayam Ravi had revealed his intention to separate from Aarti after 15 years of marriage, emphasizing that the decision was not made in haste. Aarti’s response highlights her distress over the manner in which the separation was publicized and managed by Ravi.
She stated I am deeply shocked and saddened by the recent public announcement regarding our marriage which was made without my knowledge or consent. After 18 years together I feel that such an important issue deserves to be treated with the grace respect and privacy it warrants.
Aarti also described her attempts to resolve their issues amicably and her desire to work through their marital difficulties which ultimately proved unsuccessful.
For some time I have sought several opportunities to speak directly with my husband, hoping to engage in an open dialogue that honors the commitment we made to one another and our family. Unfortunately that opportunity was not afforded to me leaving both my children and me completely blindsided by this announcement.
She clarified that the decision to end their marriage was made unilaterally by Ravi and that she does not support it. The decision to walk out of our marriage is entirely one-sided and does not benefit our family.
Despite the pain this has caused, I have chosen to maintain my dignity and have refrained from making public comments until now.
Aarti explained that her reason for addressing the situation publicly at this time is due to the online harassment she has faced since Ravi’s announcement. It has been incredibly difficult to endure the false public narrative that has unfairly placed blame on me and subjected my character to unwarranted attacks.
She also mentioned her hope that, over time, the full context of their situation will become clear. My focus remains on the well-being of our children and on helping them navigate this challenging period with the strength and integrity they deserve. I trust that in time the full context of our situation will be understood and appreciated.
Aarti’s statement reflects her frustration with the way the separation was handled and her concern for the impact it has had on her family, particularly her children. She remains committed to maintaining her dignity and protecting her children from the negative effects of public scrutiny and misinformation.
