Actor Ravi Mohan's wife accused him of financial abandonment in the latest statement she shared in a social media. This post came just a few hours after Ravi was snapped with his rumoured partner, Kenishaa Francis, attending producer Ishari Ganesh's daughter's wedding in Chennai on Friday.

Ravi Mohan's wife slams him for hiding from responsibilities

While accusing Ravi Mohan of running away from his responsibilities, Aarti, in her long post, wrote, "For a year, I have carried silence like armour. Not because I was weak, but because my sons needed peace more than I needed to be heard. I absorbed every accusation, every allegation, every cruel whisper thrown my way. I said nothing - not because I didn't have the truth, but because I didn't want my children to carry the burden of choosing between parents. Today, while the world sees carefully curated appearances and photo captions, our reality is very different. My divorce is still ongoing. But the man I once stood beside for 18 years - in love, loyalty, and belief - has not just walked away from me, but from the very responsibilities he once promised to honour."

Aarti went on and called out Ravi for cancelling meetings and not answering calls, saying, "My children are 10 and 14. They deserve security, not shock. Stability, not silence. They are too young to understand legal clauses, but old enough to feel abandonment. Every unanswered call, every cancelled meeting, every cold message meant for me but read by them - these are not just oversights. They are wounds."

Aarti Ravi slams media

She, in her note, also slammed the media for calling her Ravi Mohan's ex-wife and said, "A father is not just a title. It is a responsibility. To the others who walk freely through our story - the tears of children echo in places no eyes can see. You may escape my words, but not what the universe remembers in silence. To the curious minds and self-appointed well-wishers preoccupied with my Instagram name - I remain Aarti Ravi until both I and the law decide otherwise. And to the respected media: kindly refrain from calling me an ex-wife until the legal process concludes. Until then, patience - like silence - is a virtue. This is not vengeance. This is not spectacle."

Aarti concluded her note, saying, "For the two boys who still call you Appa. And for them, I will never back down.
Aarti"

Ravi Mohan's Separation from Aarti

In September last year, Ravi formally announced his separation from wife Aarti through a detailed note on social media, addressing it to his fans and followers.

Ravi, a prominent name in Tamil cinema, rose to pan-India fame with Mani Ratnam's two-part historical saga Ponniyin Selvan. He portrayed the titular character, Prince Arulmozhi Varman, who later became the great Chola emperor, Rajaraja I.

Aarti, the daughter of noted television producer Sujatha Vijayakumar, married Ravi in 2009. The couple has two sons.
