Jayam Ravi on blindsiding Aarti

During a recent chat with Hindustan Times, Jayam Ravi slammed Aarti’s claims of announcing their divorce without her ‘knowledge or consent.’ The ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ actor said, “I sent Aarti two legal notices in the months before September 9, and she didn’t respond to either one of them. I was forced to make the divorce announcement public because there were so many rumours already and I am answerable to my fans. When everyone was talking about it in the media, how could I just sit quietly? I had already started legal proceedings and felt it needed to be addressed.”

Talking about both Aarti and her family being aware of the divorce decision, Ravi continued, “That’s absolutely not true. Both our families and she and I had a discussion about this together. Then they gave us space and she and I had a separate conversation and I told her clearly this is what I wanted. So, she was and her family were completely aware of this. After that, Aarti’s father and I had a conversation about this matter. How can they claim otherwise?“

Ravi: I walked out with nothing

Talking about their current living situation, Jayam Ravi said, “I don’t want to get into the details in public because that is private and will be taken up in the court of law. I have worked so hard to achieve what I have in life and listened to people (I love and care about), but I felt extremely suffocated after a point. You know, when I walked out of the house a few months back, I walked out with nothing. I just took one car. I am a nomad now (smiles).”

He added, “I moved to Mumbai but I keep coming to Chennai often. In fact, I was here for my elder son Aarav’s birthday in June and I spent time with him. I am very much accessible to my children, Aarav and Ayaan.” As per the report, the actor’s apartment in Chennai has been transformed into his office and he opts for hotel stays when needed.
