Recently, Ravi Mohan addressed a press conference during which he announced, “Firstly, what I want to say is that my films will not release on screen until I get my divorce. I am not going to act. That is because I cannot act. I cannot bear the unnecessary insults I am being subjected to.” “I know how to set right those things that are associated with my work. On the day I get my divorce, on the day my personal life becomes alright, on the day this cyber bullying stops…,” he went on to say.

Asked if he will be completing the films that he was working on, Ravi Mohan explained, “I will not behave in such a manner that causes difficulty to anybody. I can say that much. Even if I have taken money, I will make provisions to return it and only then leave. So, don’t worry. Nobody will be affected by me. ”

For the unaware, Ravi and Aarti tied the knot back in 2009. The couple announced their separation in 2024 after the actor moved out. Their divorce proceedings are currently underway in the Chennai Family Court.

Keneeshaa, who was rumoured to be in a relationship with Ravi, initially claimed that she was only his healer and friend. However, in 2025, the two were seen attending a wedding together wearing matching outfits.

Recently, Keneeshaa penned a cryptic post on social media saying, I walked into this story with love. I walk out of it with silence, hinting at a possible breakup.
