Actor Ravi Mohan and his estranged wife Aarti Ravi have been in the spotlight for quite some time due to their ongoing divorce battle. Now, the case has taken a fresh turn as reports suggest that Aarti has requested a monthly alimony of Rs 40 lakh from Ravi following their separation.
Aarti Ravi Demands Rs 40 Lakh Monthly Alimony
Aarti Ravi has reportedly filed a counter-petition in the ongoing divorce case, stating that she requires Rs 40 lakh per month in maintenance. She explained that the amount is necessary to support herself financially following their separation. The couple, married for 15 years, announced their separation in 2024. Ravi Mohan stated that the decision was made after careful consideration and discussions with both families. The Chennai Family Court has been involved in the case, directing both parties to undergo mediation in an attempt to reconcile their differences. Despite these efforts, Aarti's recent petition has intensified the legal proceedings.

Ravi Mohan and his wife, Aarti Ravi, appeared at the Chennai Family Court on May 21, 2025, where they each submitted separate petitions as part of their ongoing divorce proceedings. The day before they were due in court, Aarti broke her silence for the first time, releasing a strongly worded public statement that has since drawn significant attention. Without naming anyone, Aarti Ravi pointed fingers at a ‘third person’ for the breakdown of their marriage. She wrote, “There is a third person in our marriage. What broke us wasn’t something between us — it was someone outside. The ‘light of your life’ brought only darkness to ours. That’s the truth.”. Actor Ravi Mohan’s close friendship with singer Keneeshaa Francis has also been making headlines lately, with many speculating that it may be connected to the ongoing divorce case.

Aarti Ravi’s Statement About Third Person

She also wrote, "If caring for my husband, protecting him from harmful habits and patterns that threaten the stability of our home - makes me controlling, so be it. Any loving wife would have done the same for their spouse's well-being and health. For women who don't, society often reserves far worse labels.”
In an earlier statement, Ravi Mohan accused Aarti Ravi of being overly controlling. He claimed she restricted his access to his own hard-earned money and even stopped him from seeing his parents, painting a picture of a strained and difficult marriage.
Ravi Mohan’s Statement
Actor Ravi Mohan recently took to social media to share a personal statement, in which he opened up about his troubled marriage. In the post, he described himself as a victim of emotional abuse and referred to his wife, Aarti Ravi, as a ‘controlling partner’. A part of Ravi Mohan's statement read, “I will not allow anyone from my past ties in marriage to manipulate cheap sympathy for personal gain or borrowed fame. This isn't a game to me. It's my life, my truth, and my healing. I remain fully committed to the legal process and trust it will bring truth to light. I will continue to navigate this with dignity, grounded in respect for both - justice and myself (sic).”

He further wrote, “As an adult and as a survivor of years of physical, mental, emotional and severe financial abuse (sad to add), I was also caged in isolation from even meeting my own parents through these years, trapped in a reality that became unbearable despite every since attempt to heal and save my marriage, I finally found the strength to walk away from a life that had become unliveable. Choosing to walk away was not a decision made lightly - And so, I write this you with a heavy heart (sic).”
During the court hearing held on 21 May 2025, Ravi strongly opposed Aarti’s request for cohabitation and urged the judge to dismiss her plea. After hearing both sides, the court suggested that the two reconsider their positions and reflect on their petitions. The matter has now been adjourned and will be taken up again on 12 June 2025.
