Ravi Mohan's estranged wife Aarti Ravi opens up about ‘the first man to love me' and his influence on her sons: ‘I now see what I once took for granted'
Following months of controversies and verbal spats on social media, the situation has somewhat calmed down for Aarti Ravi, the estranged wife of Tamil actor Ravi Mohan. As she finally embraces her status as a single parent, Aarti is ensuring that her two sons never feel a dearth of love or compassion. And in this journey, it appears she is not alone and has the expert support of 'the man who loved me first'. Recently, Aarti took to social media to share with the world the impact her father, Krishnamurthy Vijaykumar, has had on her life. She also emphasised that he now plays an equally significant role in her children's lives.
On the occasion of Father's Day, she penned a heartfelt note dedicated to him, reflecting on how he has always stood by her with 'no noise, no praise'. In a carousel post, she shared a photo of the two of them together, along with a short video of him spending time with her sons, Aarav and Ayaan. Aarti wrote, 'When so much around me felt unsure, you were the one thing that wasn't. There were days I didn't know how I'd get through. But you were there. You didn't ask what to do. You just stood by me — calm, steady, and strong.'

She continued: 'Daddy, I now see what I once took for granted — the way you always showed up, without needing to be asked. No noise, no praise — just you, being there.' Opening up about the influence he has on her children, Aarti added, 'They say children mirror what they see. And while my boys are still figuring out the world, I know they're learning something important: What it looks like to be loved without conditions. You didn't just raise me. You're raising them too — in all the ways that truly matter.'
Assuring her father that she will recover from her struggles and find herself again, Aarti wrote: 'And Daddy… I know I'm not the same girl you once let go with hope in your eyes. Life has tested me in ways none of us expected. I know you'd want her back — just the way she was. I'm trying. And I promise — I'll find her again. I'll come back as your little girl.'

After 15 years of marriage, Ravi Mohan announced his separation from Aarti in September 2024. Since then, speculation has been rife that he is dating singer-spiritual healer Keneesha Francis, although neither has confirmed the rumours. Last month, Aarti claimed she was facing 'home eviction' and was left alone to care for her children. 'My children are 10 and 14. They deserve security, not shock. Stability, not silence. They are too young to understand legal clauses, but old enough to feel abandonment. Every unanswered call, every cancelled meeting, every cold message meant for me but read by them – these are just not oversights. They are wounds,' she wrote.
Dismissing her claims, Ravi responded by saying he felt 'stabbed in the chest'. 'What breaks me most is seeing my children used as tools in public narrative rooted in financial gain, and to sway public sympathy, while I have been deliberately kept away from them since our separation. I have only decided in full knowledge and understanding of my past circumstances to leave my ex-wife and not my kids. My children are my eternal pride and happiness, and I will do all things better than the best for the two boys I live my life for,' he shared.
