In a surprising turn of events, actor Jayam Ravi recently announced the end of his 15-year marriage to Aarti Ravi, leaving fans and the public in shock. The couple, once seen as a symbol of love and commitment, has sparked widespread speculation about the reasons behind their sudden split.
Rumours have been circulating online, with the latest buzz suggesting the involvement of a third party. According to a report by Tamil magazine Nakheeran, Jayam Ravi was allegedly in a secret relationship with Kenishaa Francis, a Bangalore-based singer. While these claims have not been substantiated by any credible sources, the magazine suggested that this relationship played a role in the breakdown of the actor’s marriage.
The report also claimed that the situation escalated after Jayam Ravi and Kenishaa were fined by the Goa police for speeding in June. Aarti Ravi reportedly became aware of the fine, which allegedly triggered a series of arguments between the couple. This event, coupled with growing tensions, is believed to have led to the final dissolution of their marriage.
Further fueling the rumors, Nakheeran reported that Jayam Ravi skipped celebrating his 14th wedding anniversary with Aarti and their family. Instead, it was alleged that he purchased a bungalow in Goa with Kenishaa Francis during the same period. These claims, though unverified, have intensified public curiosity about the real reasons behind the split.
In addition to the infidelity rumors, earlier reports by FilmiBeat suggested that family conflicts may have contributed to the separation. The report mentioned that Aarti’s mother, Sujatha Vijayakumar, and her adopted son, Shankar, had played a role in the couple’s troubles. Allegedly, Jayam Ravi had a disagreement with his mother-in-law and brother-in-law during a film shoot, which they were managing. According to the report, Sujatha had even advised a filmmaker to reduce Jayam Ravi’s remuneration for his next film, claiming that his fame had diminished and no longer justified the Rs 25 crore fee he was seeking.
While both Jayam Ravi and Aarti have remained largely silent about the details of their separation, the rumors and speculations continue to circulate, leaving fans eagerly waiting for an official statement from the couple.
