Following actor Jayam Ravi’s public announcement about his decision to part ways with his wife Aarti Ravi, the couple has found themselves at the center of widespread public discourse. While Jayam Ravi’s declaration was met with mixed reactions, Aarti expressed her disappointment over the announcement, particularly as it was made without her prior consent. This response has since ignited online support for the actor.
However, Aarti Ravi has now clarified her stance, explaining that her reaction was related specifically to the manner in which the announcement was made, not the divorce proceedings themselves. Taking to her Instagram account, Aarti shared a statement addressing the ongoing commentary around her personal life.
“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,” Aarti stated.
She further clarified her initial reaction, stating, “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.”
Concluding her message, Aarti emphasized her respect for the institution of marriage and her desire to shield her family from further public scrutiny. “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,” she wrote.
