Tamil actor Ravi Mohan’s estranged wife, Aarti, shared a new statement where she clarified all the allegations against her. In her three-page note, she blamed a ‘third person’, because of whom her marriage to Ravi broke. Aarti also questioned why Ravi waited for over a decade to walk out of a marriage that stifled him in many ways.

Without naming singer Keneshaa, whom Ravi called ‘companion’ and a ‘light’ in his statement, Aarti said that money, power, interference or control did not ruin their marriage. She wrote, “None of these are why our marriage suffers. There is a third person in our marriage. What broke us wasn’t something between us – it was someone outside. The ‘light of your life’ brought only darkness to ours. That’s the truth.”

She further stated that she has proof that the “third person” was in the picture even before the divorce papers were filed.

In Ravi’s previous statement, he cited many instances calling Aarti a controlling wife, who did not allow him to spend his hard-earned money or meet his parents.

“If caring for my husband, protecting him from harmful habits and patterns that threatened the stability of our home – makes me controlling, so be it. Any loving wife would have done the same for their spouse’s well being and health. For women who don’t, society often reserves far worse labels,” she added.

Aarti further said that they shared real moments even during difficult years.

Addressing Ravi’s claims about leaving the house with nothing in his hand, she said, “He left in branded sneakers, fully clothed, with access to his wallet, and Range – along with every other possession he wished to take. He wasn’t exiled. He exited – calmly, consciously, and with a plan,” the statement read.

She added, “If he had truly escaped my “clutches”, I only wish he had gone directly to his alleged “estranged” parents’ home. Instead, he knocked on a door that only caused more damage. Let us not confuse a rescue mission with a rendezvous disguised as righteousness.”

Speaking about claims of abuse and isolation, Aarti asked why Ravi had waited all these years if he had faced so much struggles with me. “Why celebrate anniversaries, attend family vacations, and continue to share a life if the environment was unlivable? A man with every resource at his disposal stayed – until he was confronted. That was the moment he chose to walk – not out of fear, but because the secret was no longer safe,” the statement read.

She also trashed the claims about him being a ‘resident son-in-law’. Aarti claimed that they lived in their homes in Alwarpet and ECR.

Addressing the claims of using her children as her tools, she said that her sons’ “father has seen them four times in the last year – by his own choosing. Their phones were never blocked. Their hearts were simply broken – by absence, not enforcement.” She further stated that no bouncer would be banning a father who is determined to meet his children.

Aarti said that her children feel safe seeing Ravi in familiar places, which include their paternal grandparents’ home or their office. “Being pressured to meet at his current residence – shared with someone who stole their peace – has only pushed them further away. Also, their father has never sought visitation or custody to date – despite his claims of being kept away from the children,” she remarked.

Ravi, in his note, mentioned that his sons were involved in an accident, and he was informed only when they wanted his signature on the insurance papers.

“The minor car accident in which the children were unharmed, we sought insurance support to make the vehicle usable again. With their father abroad and unreachable, we went in person to our office – only to be turned away by a bouncer from a property we legally co-own,” she added.

Aarti Ravi said that it is comical to see that Ravi felt he was being held hostage by a 5.2 feet woman. She wrote, “If he stayed, it was by choice, not force. For 15 years, I was asked to give up my own career and dreams even with a Master’s degree from the UK – to support his work and life.” She further added that all the financial decisions were made as a couple. She admitted that she has proof of the same and will present it in court.

Aarti then stated that she tried to maintain dignity amid her public divorce battle. “After 18 years of togetherness, you could have walked away with dignity, but instead, you threw me into the fire for something you did. Today, my reputation and integrity have been tactically curated into a conversation in the public eye,” she added.

The mother-of-two wished him peace and said that it should not come at the “cost of vilifying the one who shared your storms.”

Aarti signed off the note with the words: “I’m not weak. And I’m not here to plead. I’m here to stand tall – in the eyes of my loved ones, and in solidarity with the millions of voices that have been silenced. And with that, I’ll say no more. Because I still believe – in the court of law.”

Aarti and Ravi Mohan have been levelling accusations against each other in public. She claimed that this was her last statement in the ongoing divorce battle.
