Aarti says she was blindsided by the separation announcement
Aarti went on to share that she had hoped to resolve matters with Jayam Ravi privately, and that her attempts to communicate and work on their marriage were unsuccessful. “For some time, I have sought several opportunities to speak directly with my husband, hoping to have an open dialogue in a manner that honours the commitment we made to one another and our family. Sadly, that opportunity was not afforded to me, leaving both my children and me completely blindsided by this announcement,” she said.
Divorce decision is solely Jayam Ravi's
She further said that the decision to end the marriage was solely Ravi's, stating, “The decision to walk out of our marriage is purely one-sided and does not benefit our family. Despite the pain this has caused, I have chosen to remain dignified and refrained from public comment until now.”
Aarti on online trolling
Aarti’s statement also addressed the wave of criticism she has faced online since the news broke, explaining that she has been unfairly blamed. “It has been hard to endure the false public narrative that has unfairly placed blame on me and subjected my character to attacks. As a mother, my first priority is and always will be the well-being of my children. I cannot stand by while this narrative affects them, and I will not allow these unfounded allegations to go unaddressed,” she wrote.
She concluded her message by stating that, in time, the full picture of the situation would become clearer, adding, “My focus remains on the well-being of our children and helping them navigate this difficult time with the strength and integrity they deserve. I trust in time, the full context of our situation will be understood.”
