The ongoing divorce battle between Ravi Mohan and his estranged wife Aarti Ravi has taken another dramatic turn after actress Meerra Chopra publicly came out in support of the actor. The controversy has sparked intense discussions online after Ravi made several emotional and shocking allegations during a recent press conference.
Ravi Mohan, who has largely remained silent about his personal life until now, broke down while speaking to the media and announced that he would not sign or release any films until his divorce proceedings are completed. The actor said he had reached a breaking point after staying quiet for a long time.
The actress took to X and wrote, "I know this guy as #JeyamRavi. Knew him quite well when I was working in South movies. Just read about his divorce. My two cents would be, a man is not the one who is wrong all the time. I am coming across a lot of women taking advantage of laws which are skewed towards women." She further added, “A man should be heard too. I know him as an extremely sweet and simple guy. I hope he finds his truth and justice. #RaviMohan @iam_RaviMohan."
Ravi Mohan makes emotional revelations
During the press interaction, Ravi Mohan made several deeply personal claims about the struggles he allegedly faced in his marriage. The actor revealed that he had suffered emotionally for years and even resorted to self-harm at one point. He claimed that despite injuring himself, he continued shooting for films the very next day because of his professional commitment.
The actor also alleged that he has been unable to meet his two sons. Ravi said he had married Aarti against his parents’ wishes and is now facing the consequences of that decision. He became emotional while speaking about his children and claimed that bodyguards were being used to prevent him from meeting them.
Ravi Mohan also criticised what he described as the misuse of feminism. According to him, some people are taking unfair advantage of laws that he believes favour women. He added that despite supporting women-centric stories in cinema, he now feels unfairly targeted.
Ambika reacts to Ravi’s condition
Veteran actress Ambika also reacted to the issue and extended support to Ravi Mohan. She said it was heartbreaking to watch the actor go through such emotional stress and noted that the tension was visible on his face. Ambika urged people to stop interfering in his personal life and allow him space to deal with his problems privately.
The situation intensified further after Ravi Mohan indirectly referred to a “three-letter idli actress” during his media interaction. Although he did not name anyone directly, many social media users speculated that the remark was aimed at Khushbu Sundar.
Khushbu later shared a cryptic social media post, which only fuelled more online speculation surrounding the matter.
Ravi also spoke about singer Keneeshaa Francis and alleged that cyberbullying had forced her to distance herself from him. He warned online trolls that he had evidence against those targeting him and the people associated with him.
She wrote, "You never wake a sleeping lion. God help if she's a mamma lion. My dignified silence should never be mistaken for weakness or taken undue advantage of. If needed, to protect my children and my dignity, I will step out of my comfort zone and face the world with the truth. Because truth always prevails."
Ravi Mohan and Aarti Ravi got married in 2009 after dating for several years. The estranged couple share two sons. Over the past few months, their separation has remained one of the most talked-about controversies in the Tamil film industry, with every new statement adding more attention to the already bitter public dispute.
