Jayam Ravi recently made headlines by announcing his separation from his wife, Aarti, after 15 years of marriage. The announcement sparked controversy, as Aarti issued a statement days later, claiming she was not informed about the divorce beforehand. She expressed that she hadn’t been able to meet Ravi and resolve matters, leaving their two children in a difficult situation.

In response to Aarti's statement, Jayam Ravi clarified that both families had met before the announcement, and he had informed their elder son about the decision beforehand. Following this, a popular YouTube channel reported that Ravi's decision to divorce was due to a lack of respect from Aarti and her family. Now, Aarti has released a new statement addressing these allegations. She says:

"In light of the ongoing public commentary surrounding my personal life, I find it important to emphasise that my silence is not a sign of weakness or guilt. I've chosen to stay dignified and not respond to those trying to portray me in bad light to conceal the truth, but I trust the legal system to bring justice.

To be clear, my previous statement referred to the public announcement that was claimed to have been issued through mutual consent. I maintain that this came as a shock and was not a reference to the unilateral divorce that is underway. It's unfortunate that my words were misinterpreted. I still hope for a private conversation on this matter which till date has been denied.

I deeply respect the sanctity of marriage and won't engage in public discussions that hurt anyone's reputation. My focus is on our family's well-being, and I trust in God's grace for guidance."
