‘I Am Accused Of Being A Gold Digger’
Actor Jayam Ravi, who has now changed his name to Ravi Mohan, recently sparked dating rumours after he was seen with singer Kenishaa Francis at a wedding. After the rumours, his wife Aarti Ravi, with whom he has been separated for over a year, shared a statement on Instagram. She talked about her ongoing divorce proceedings and also reminded the actor of his responsibilities as a father.
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.”
She added, “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. For months, the weight of their world has rested on my shoulders alone. Every book, every meal, every quiet tear at night-held, healed, and carried by me. Not a whisper of emotional or financial support has followed from the one who once called them his pride. And now, we face home eviction-from the bank, on the instructions of the man who once built that very home with me. 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.”
She concluded, “I do not regret love. But I will not stand by as that love is rewritten as weakness. My children are 10 and 14. They deserve security, not shock. Stability, not silence. They are too young to understand legal clauses, but 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.”
