In his detailed post, Ravi shared that the decision was made with the best interests of everyone involved in mind, though he did not specify the exact reasons behind it. He emphasised that the decision was not made hastily but after considerable reflection and requested privacy and sensitivity from his fans and the media during this challenging time, urging against speculation or rumours.
The actor wrote, "After much thought and discussion, I have taken the difficult decision to proceed with the dissolution of my marriage with Aarti. This decision was not made out of haste and it stems from personal reasons that I believe are in the best interests of everyone involved." Ravi also highlighted his appreciation for the support he has received from his fans over the years, and reassured them of his commitment to his acting career.
The Tamil actor concluded his message by expressing his gratitude for the support he has received and urged everyone to respect their privacy and allow the matter to remain private. The heartbreaking news follows months of speculation about their relationship status, particularly after Aarti deleted photos of herself with Ravi from her Instagram account. The couple got married in June 2009 and are parents to two sons, Aarav and Ayaan.
For the unversed, Aarti is the daughter of renowned television producer Sujatha Vijayakumar and is also a successful entrepreneur and social media influencer. The news has sent shockwaves to their fans, especially with the actor dropping the update a day before his birthday on September 10.
