The actor emphasized that the decision to dissolve his marriage was not made hastily. He wrote, “After much thought, reflections, and discussions, I have taken the difficult decision to proceed with the dissolution of 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.”
Jayam Ravi requested privacy during this challenging time and urged his fans to avoid speculating or spreading rumors. He said, “In light of this, I hereby kindly request all of you to respect our privacy as well as that of our family members during this difficult time and appeal to all of you to refrain from making any assumptions, rumors, or allegations in this regard and let the matter remain private.”
Concluding his note, Ravi reaffirmed his commitment to his career, stating, “My priority has always remained the same to continue bringing joy and entertainment through my films to my dearest audience.”
Speculation about their marital issues began when Aarti removed all photos with Jayam Ravi from her Instagram account following their 15th wedding anniversary celebration in June.
