Aarti, the estranged wife of Ravi Mohan, has sought Rs.40 lakh as monthly alimony. Meanwhile, Ravi Mohan has once again claimed in the Chennai Family Court that he has already granted her a divorce.
Aarti Ravi and Ravi Mohan appeared in the Chennai Family Court on May 21 to file separate petitions amid their ongoing divorce proceedings. Since Ravi Mohan announced the divorce last year, the couple has exchanged accusations publicly.
In court, Ravi reiterated his request for a divorce, while Aarti sought Rs.40 lakh in monthly alimony.
Previously, Ravi Mohan had filed for divorce, prompting the court to order reconciliation sessions, which the couple attended as instructed.

During the hearing on May 21, Ravi asked the court to dismiss Aarti’s request for cohabitation.
The court advised both parties to reconsider their petitions and postponed the matter until June 12.
Just a day prior, Aarti released a lengthy statement, labeling Ravi Mohan’s rumored girlfriend, Kenishaa Francis, a “homebreaker.”
In her statement, she said,
“The truth needs to be said – once and for all. Money, power, interference, or control none of these are why our marriage suffers. There is a third person in our marriage. What broke us wasn’t something between us it was someone outside. The ‘light of your life’ brought only darkness into ours. That’s the truth. This person was already in the picture long before any divorce papers were filed. This isn’t guesswork. I have proof.”
Ravi Mohan made headlines last year when he announced his divorce from Aarti. In a counter-post, Aarti stated that the decision was made “without her consent.”

Ravi Mohan clarified in his note that he did not make the decision lightly.
He wrote,
“After much thought, reflections and discussions, I have taken the difficult decision to proceed with the dissolution of marriage with Aarti. This decision was not made out of haste and it stems from personal reasons that I believe are in the best interests of everyone involved.”
He also changed his name from Jayam Ravi to Ravi Mohan.
Ravi Mohan, the son of veteran film editor A Mohan, is known for his roles in films such as Jayam, Daas, Mazhai, Bommarillu, Peranmai, Romeo Juliet, Bhoomi, and Siren.
For those unfamiliar, Aarti is the daughter of television producer Sujatha Vijayakumar. The couple has two sons, Aarav and Ayaan.
