Actor Ravi Mohan, popularly known as Jayam Ravi, has been in the headlines since he announced his separation from his wife Aarti in September last year. At the time, Aarti revealed that the announcement was made without her knowledge and that she was blindsided by the development. Amid ongoing tensions, the couple appeared before the Chennai family court on May 21 and filed individual petitions for divorce. Since their separation, the two have been making public statements and accusations against each other.
