Actress Aarti Ravi recently issued a heartfelt public statement following her separation from actor Ravi Mohan. The couple, who married in 2009 and spent 15 years together, are currently going through divorce proceedings. Their split shocked the Tamil film industry, and Aarti's statement emphasized the emotional toll it has taken. She expressed disappointment over her husband's rumored relationship with singer Kenisha Francis and said, “Being a father is not just a title — it’s a responsibility.” She insisted that her
Instagram name would remain “Aarti Ravi” until the legal process was complete, requesting the media not to refer to her as an “ex-wife” prematurely.
Strong Words for a Silent Battle
Aarthi added, “This is not an act of revenge. I won’t cry, I won’t scream, but I will stand tall, for the sake of the two children who still call him ‘Appa.’ For them, I will never back down.” Her powerful words struck a chord online, garnering support from celebrities including
Khushbu and Radhika, who liked her post. Many netizens also voiced support for her and criticized Ravi Mohan’s alleged new relationship.
Kenisha Francis responds subtly
Soon after Aarthi’s post, Kenisha Francis appeared to respond indirectly. She shared a cryptic quote on her Instagram story: “Ambitious people really only have two options: a supportive partner, or no partner at all.” This post caught the attention of fans, who interpreted it as a veiled reaction to Aarthi’s emotional statement.
Public appearance fuels speculation
Adding fuel to the fire, Ravi Mohan recently attended the wedding reception of Ishari Ganesh’s daughter in Chennai, once again appearing alongside Kenisha Francis. Their joint appearance, their second in a short span, has led to strong speculation that the two may be planning to marry soon, especially as Ravi Mohan’s divorce from Aarthi nears finalization.
