Actor Jayam Ravi has recently opened up about his strained marriage with ex-wife Aarti, sharing shocking details about the disrespect and control he faced during their 15-year relationship. In a candid interview with Filmibeat, the actor disclosed that he was treated with little regard, even admitting that he had less control over his own life and finances than a housemaid would.
Ravi, a celebrated figure in South Indian cinema, revealed that despite his success, he had no separate bank account and was financially dependent on Aarti. He had to seek her approval for any personal expenses. “I didn’t even have control over my own money,” he admitted. The actor also pointed out that his mother-in-law, who funded some of his films, falsely portrayed them as financial losses despite their success.
Loss of Privacy and Social Media Control
Ravi also revealed a troubling lack of privacy in his marriage. For years, he avoided using WhatsApp as Aarti allegedly monitored all his messages. He also lacked access to his own Instagram account, which he recently regained with the help of Meta. The actor’s life seemed to be under constant scrutiny, with Aarti controlling much of his digital and personal interactions.
Divorce Drama
Following their divorce announcement, Aarti claimed that she was unaware of Ravi’s decision, a statement the actor has strongly denied. He clarified that he had even discussed the matter with their son prior to making the public announcement. Furthermore, rumors about Ravi being involved with a singer have been circulating, but the actor has refuted these claims.
Ravi has now filed a legal case against Aarti after she removed him from their shared house, leaving him unable to retrieve his personal belongings.
New Beginnings in Mumbai?
As per recent reports, Ravi has relocated his office to Mumbai, hinting at his plans to explore opportunities in Hindi cinema. While his career remains promising, his personal life continues to make headlines as he navigates through the ongoing legal and emotional challenges.
Jayam Ravi’s revelations have left fans shocked, shedding light on the darker side of his life behind the spotlight.
