In a personal and emotional bombshell, Tamil actor Jayam Ravi broke his silence regarding his current estrangement from Aarti Ravi, claiming a history of emotional, physical, and financial abuse. In a revelation that has sent shockwaves within the film world, the actor stated he had “suffered in silence for years” to uphold his family’s dignity but could no longer remain silent.
Ravi outlined a history of manipulation and isolation, saying Aarti supposedly dominated his finances, pushed him away from close relationships, and made his domestic life hostile. “I was getting erased little by little as an individual,” he said, adding that he chose to speak out not for sympathy but to “reclaim his truth and mental peace.”
The star, famous for his calm public demeanor and family values, revealed that in private, he suffered “unimaginable emotional turmoil.” Insiders close to the couple confirm that proceedings have begun, and that Ravi is now focusing on his children’s welfare and emotional recovery.
Although Aarti Ravi has not yet released a public statement, the allegations have stirred up discussions about men being victims of domestic abuse, an issue not often discussed in South Asian culture. The actor’s fans and industry peers have come to his defense, praising him for his bravery in speaking out and breaking the societal taboo.
