Divorce announcement made without my consent: Jayam Ravi's wife Aarti

Divorce announcement made without my consent: Jayam Ravi's wife Aarti

Jayam Ravi recently announced his separation from his wife, Aarti Ravi, after 15 years of marriage, citing "personal reasons." However, Aarti has now claimed she was blindsided by his statement.

On Wednesday, Aarti Ravi shared a statement on Instagram, two days after her estranged husband, Jayam Ravi, publicly revealed their impending divorce.

She expressed being "shocked and saddened" by how Ravi handled the situation, asserting that the announcement was made without her consent.

In her statement, Aarti wrote, "After 18 years of shared history, I believe that such a significant matter should be handled with the grace, respect, and privacy that it deserves. For some time, I have sought several opportunities to speak directly with my husband, hoping to have an open dialogue in a manner that honors the commitment we made to one another and to our family. Unfortunately, that opportunity was not given to me, leaving both my children and me completely blindsided by this announcement. The decision to walk away from our marriage is purely one-sided and does not benefit our family."

Aarti also explained why she chose to address the matter two days after Jayam Ravi's announcement, stating, "Despite the pain this has caused, I have chosen to remain dignified and refrained from public comment until now. It has been difficult to endure the false public narrative that has unfairly placed blame on me and subjected my character to attacks. As a mother, my priority is, and always will be, the well-being of my children. I cannot stand by while this narrative affects them, and I will not allow these unfounded allegations to go unchallenged. My focus remains on the well-being of our children and helping them navigate this difficult time with the strength and integrity they deserve. I trust that, in time, the full context of our situation will be understood."

She went on to thank the media and fans for their support, saying, "I appreciate your continued prayers and respect for our privacy during this challenging chapter of our lives."

Jayam Ravi and Aarti Ravi got married on June 4, 2009. They met in Scotland and kept their relationship private before tying the knot. After 15 years of marriage, in June this year, Aarti sparked rumors of a split when she removed all photos of Jayam Ravi from her Instagram account.

According to Asianet News, Ravi filed for divorce at the Chennai Family Court on September 10, seeking to annul their 2009 marriage. The couple has two sons, Aarav and Ayaan.

On Monday, Jayam Ravi announced his decision to file for divorce, writing on Instagram, "It is with a heavy heart that I must share a deeply personal update with all of you. After much thought, reflection, and discussion, I have made the difficult decision to proceed with the dissolution of my marriage with Aarti. This decision was not made in haste and stems from personal reasons that I believe are in the best interests of everyone involved."
