In the past week, the internet has been ablaze with the ongoing personal drama between renowned Tamil actor Ravi Mohan and his estranged wife, Aarti Ravi. Once celebrated as a model couple, they are now locked in a very public and emotionally charged confrontation, with their exchanges making the rounds on social media.
Over the last six months, both Ravi and Aarti have made separate public statements that have fueled endless speculation and discussion online. Meanwhile, their divorce case has been under review at the Chennai Family Welfare Court since September of last year, following Ravi's official filing for separation.
Demand for Financial Support: Aarti Seeks Rs 40 Lakh a Month
This week, the estranged couple made court appearances before the 3rd Additional Family Welfare Court in Chennai. According to a report by News18, Judge Thenmozhi presided over the session. Ravi submitted a formal statement asserting that there was no hope for reconciliation and that he wished to proceed with the divorce. On the other hand, Aarti filed a counter-petition, emphasizing that she required a monthly maintenance of ₹40 lakhs, citing her need for post-separation financial stability.
The judge, after hearing both sides, decided to postpone the next hearing to June 12, leaving the matter temporarily unresolved. Aarti’s request for such a significant monthly amount has raised eyebrows and drawn considerable media attention.
Cryptic Claims: Aarti’s Social Media Hints Stir Speculation
Prior to the courtroom developments, Aarti had taken to Instagram to voice her emotions, suggesting that a “third party” may have been responsible for the breakdown of her marriage. She hinted that another woman had been present in Ravi’s life even before the divorce was initiated. While she refrained from naming anyone, she used a poetic phrase—“light of your life”—to describe the alleged individual. This phrase led many to believe she was alluding to singer Kenishaa Francis, a name that has repeatedly surfaced in connection with Ravi.
To add weight to the speculation, Ravi had previously referred to Kenishaa as the “light of his life” in public, which fans and followers quickly connected to Aarti’s cryptic post. Though Ravi has not directly addressed the allegation, the insinuation has only added more drama to an already sensitive situation.
A Marriage Unraveled: 15 Years End in Discord
Ravi and Aarti’s marriage spanned fifteen years, a significant chapter that now appears to be ending on a bitter note. In 2024, Ravi reportedly left their home, citing irreconcilable differences, and filed for divorce soon after. His growing closeness with Kenishaa Francis has been widely discussed in media circles. Matters intensified when Ravi publicly appeared with Kenishaa at the wedding of Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh’s daughter in Chennai just last week. Their joint appearance reignited debates and created a fresh storm across online platforms.
