Speaking to ETV Bharat, Sujatha said the ongoing controversy surrounding Ravi and Aarti’s separation had placed significant stress on the child, who is currently appearing for his Class 10 examinations. “The reason I am not exaggerating this is that my grandson is writing his 10th standard exams and is under a lot of stress due to this issue,” Sujatha said. She added that the child had witnessed situations “he should not have seen at a young age”, and stressed that the family was trying to avoid worsening the situation publicly.
Ravi Mohan's Media Outburst
The statements from Aarti’s family follow an emotional press conference held by Ravi Mohan in Chennai, where the actor publicly aired his grievances regarding the couple's pending divorce. During the media interaction, Ravi Mohan claimed he had endured years of emotional distress and "unnecessary humiliation" throughout the marriage, alleging that he was initially pressured into the alliance.
The actor also strongly defended his relationship with his children, stating that he has consistently provided financial support, including ₹50 lakh for their schooling fees. Visibly affected during the press meet, Ravi Mohan cited severe emotional exhaustion and cyberbullying directed at him and singer Keneeshaa Francis as major factors in his distress.
In a significant professional development, the actor announced that he has paused his film career, declaring that none of his upcoming movies will be released in theatres until the divorce proceedings are officially finalised.
