Actor Ravi Mohan, on Thursday, 15 May, issued a four page press statement in response to Aarti Ravi’s allegations.
Aarti, a few days back, alleged Ravi of abandonment and irresponsibility amid ongoing divorce proceedings.
In the statement, Ravi refuted the claims, stating that he had only left his ex- wife, and not his kids. “My children are my eternal pride and happiness and I will do all things better than the best for the two boys I live my life for,” he wrote.
The statement read: “Watching my private life turned into gossip, twisted without truth or compassion, has been deeply traumatic. My silence was not a weakness-It Was Survival. But when my integrity is questioned by those who don’t know my journey or my scars, I must speak.”
Further alleging abuse, Ravi Mohan said, “As an adult and as a survivor of years of physical, mental, emotional, and severe financial abuse, (sad to add) I was also caged in isolation from even meeting my own parents through these years, trapped in a reality that became unbearable despite every sincere attempt to heal and save my marriage, I finally found the strength to walk away from a life that had become unliveable. Choosing to walk away was not a decision made lightly-And so, I write this to you with a heavy heart.”
All these years I was being stabbed in the back, now I’m only glad that I’m being stabbed in the chest..
First and Final One From My Desk !
With Love
Ravi Mohan

“I’ve already opened up to my family, my close friends, and my dearest fans who truly care about me regarding my decision to file for divorce. I made that choice with a genuine wish to protect everyone’s privacy, including my estranged ex wife, and urged people not to speculate or assign blame.”
Speaking about his children, Ravi Mohan added, “What breaks me most is seeing my children used as tools in a public narrative rooted in financial gain and to sway public sympathy, while I’ve been deliberately kept away from them since our separation. Apart from a single court-mandated meeting last Christmas, all communication has been gradual but a well structured cut off.”
Addressing the speculations about singer Keneeshaa Francis, the actor wrote: “Who was initially a friend that chose to save a drowning man, very quickly became a lifeline of support when I had nothing but tears, blood, and the courage to walk away from a life that nearly broke me.”
“She stood by me on the night I left my own home barefoot, in a night suit – when I was stripped of my wallet, my vehicles, documents, my belongings and even my basic dignity. Acknowledging the sensitivities of the situation Keneeshaa didn’t hesitate. She didn’t flinch, she simply showed up. She is a beautiful companion, and I assure you this-She carries light.”
