Jayam Ravi, one of the leading actors in the Tamil film industry, has been married to Aarti, daughter of noted television producer Sujatha Vijayakumar since 2009. They have two sons; one of whom, Aarav, played a role in Ravi's 2018 film 'Tik Tik Tik'. Today, the actor announced parting ways with his wife after 15 years of marriage. He said in an official statement:

"Life is a journey filled with various chapters, each presenting its own opportunities and challenges. As many of you have followed my journey both on and off screen with utmost love and support, I have always strived to be as transparent and honest with my Fans and the Media as much as possible. It is with a heavy heart that I must share a deeply personal update with all of you.

After much thought, reflections and discussions, I have taken the difficult decision to proceed with the dissolution of my marriage with Aarti. This decision was not made out of haste and it stems from personal reasons that I believe are in the best interests of everyone involved.

In light of this, I hereby kindly request all of you to respect our privacy as well as that of our family members during this difficult time and appeal to all of you to refrain from making any assumptions, rumors or allegations in this regard and let the matter remain private.

My priority has always remained the same to continue bringing joy and entertainment through my films to my dearest audience. I am still and will always be your Jayam Ravi who is cherished by all of you throughout my career and as an actor who is dedicated to my craft and commitment to showcase the best of my talent. Your constant support means the world to me and I am grateful for the love you have showered on me over the years.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

With Love
Ravi."

Grateful for your love and understanding.
