Aarti Ravi pens emotional note after Ravi Mohan’s public appearance with rumoured girlfriend

Aarti Ravi pens emotional note after Ravi Mohan’s public appearance with rumoured girlfriend

The Hindu
Sunday, May 11, 2025 07:20:21 AM UTC

After Ravi Mohan made a public appearance with his rumoured girlfriend Keneesha Francis, his estranged wife Aarti Ravi penned an emotional note, stating that Ravi has walked away “from the very responsibilities he once promised to honour,” and that his abandonment has hurt their children

Tamil actor Ravi Mohan sparked dating rumours on Friday after he made a public appearance with his rumoured girlfriend, singer Keneesha Francis, at a wedding in Chennai recently. While pictures of the two flooded social media, Ravi’s estranged wife Aarti Ravi penned an emotional note, stating that Ravi has walked away “from the very responsibilities he once promised to honour,” and that his abandonment has hurt their two sons.

Taking to her Instagram account, Aarti 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 then alleged that she and her sons are facing eviction from their house on Ravi’s instructions. “I am accused of being a gold digger. If that were ever true, I would’ve protected my personal interests long ago. But I chose love over calculation. Trust over transaction. And this is where it has brought me. I do not regret love. But I will not stand by as that love is rewritten as weakness,” added Aarti.

Calling out Ravi for hurting their children, aged 10 and 14, Aarti said that while the boys might be too young to understand the legal nuances of the issue, they are “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. I speak today not as a wife. Not even as a woman wronged. I speak as a mother whose sole focus is the well-being of her children. And if I do not rise now, I will fail them forever. You can move on in gold silk. You can replace roles in your public life. But you cannot rewrite the truth. A father is not just a title. It is a responsibility,” wrote Aarti, requesting the media to refrain from calling her as Ravi’s ex-wife and that she will carry his name until the divorce is granted by the court of law.

Meanwhile, Keeneesha shared a story on her Instagram account that many believe is her reaction to the developments. The singer reshared a quote that read, “A masculine man will never be attracted to a chaotic emotional energy. His heart leans toward the woman who feels like peace. The one whose softness isn’t a performance, but a quiet power. She doesn’t compete with his strength, she balances it. And in that dynamic, both people sustain and fulfill each other’s needs.”

Some reports even state that Keneesha responded to the controversy directly in a now-deleted Instagram story. This remains unverified.
