At a press conference held in Chennai on Saturday, Ravi addressed his divorce proceedings with Aarti Ravi and also indicated that his relationship with Kenishaa broke up due to cyberbullying.

Since 2024, Ravi and his wife
Aarti have been embroiled in their
divorce proceedings. The actor accused her of ‘physical, mental, emotional and severe financial abuse’ and filed for divorce. Aarti filed a counter-petition, demanding a monthly alimony of Rs 40 lakh for financial support after the divorce. While the case remains in court, Ravi has alleged that he was denied access to meet his kids, Aarav and Ayaan, as they are guarded by bodyguards.

Ravi also revealed that his parents were against his marriage to Aarti, and now, he is paying the price for not listening to them. “I
slit my wrists and still showed up at the shoot the next day. That has been my commitment,” he said, showing slit marks. The actor emotionally shared, “They even did black magic. Now they are using PR groups (I don't want to name them) to cyberbully me. I am dying slowly, but before I die, I will finish everyone. I started hurting my hand. I can't live without my children."
Ravi Mohan and Kenishaa Francis dating rumours
Amid the divorce case, Ravi was rumoured to be dating
Kenishaa, a spiritual healer and singer based in Chennai. On Friday, she hinted at ending the relationship with the actor and leaving Chennai. In an elaborate post on Instagram, Kenishaa wrote, “There will be no more explanations. No more defending. No more fighting battles that were never mine to carry in the first place. I was stupid to think that good people needed a chance to live and support in that realm is the best one can do. But I understand, that this place is only for liars, cheaters, manipulators and life extorters.”
Ravi Mohan, Kenishaa's breakup
Announcing a break from acting, Ravi said the last two years have been difficult for him as his personal life was being scrutinised. While his
breakup with Kenishaa remains in the limelight, he feels mentally unprepared to act. He was emotional talking about her decision to leave Chennai and how public hostility caused further mental stress. Amid the trouble in his marriage, Kenishaa stood with him and the rumoured couple was often seen visiting temples. When Ravi launched his production house, she became his loudest cheerleader. He also supported her singing ventures and hyped her on social media.
Did Ravi Mohan take a dig at Khushbu Sundar?
During the press conference, Ravi took a dig at ‘idly nadigai’ (actress), and netizens believed it was
Khushbu Sundar, who has been supporting Aarti. She shared a cryptic tweet that read, “Some are just hell bent to prove their DNA. Thank you for proving me right.” Aarti is yet to react to the allegations made by Ravi during the press conference. She married him in 2009. Aarti does not belong to the entertainment fraternity and gained popularity after marrying Ravi.
