The ongoing separation saga between Tamil actor Ravi Mohan and Aarti Ravi has intensified with allegations of blackmail. In a recent press conference, Ravi accused Aarti of coercing him into marriage through self-harm. In response, Aarti's mother, Sujatha Vijayakumar, vehemently denied these claims, asserting that Ravi is not being prevented from seeing his children, Aarav and Ayaan. She stated, 'It is a completely false claim that Ravi Mohan is not being allowed to see his children.' Sujatha also referred to a 2008 interview that she believes clarifies the truth about their relationship dynamics, hinting that the narrative around blackmail may be more complex than Ravi portrays. Furthermore, she rejected claims regarding financial control and dismissed Ravi's assertion of contributing ₹25,000 (approximately $300 USD) monthly towards Aarti's medical expenses as merely a duty of a son-in-law. The emotional impact of the controversy has also been highlighted, particularly concerning their grandson, who is currently facing stress as he prepares for his Class 10 exams. Sujatha expressed concern for his well-being, stating that he has been exposed to distressing situations at a young age. The family is seeking time to address these allegations legally and publicly.
