Jayam Ravi on custody of kids amid divorce with Aarti: "I'll do whatever it takes to have them"

Tamil actor Jayam Ravi, known for his impactful roles in films like Thani Oruvan and Ponniyin Selvan, has recently made headlines as he and his wife Aarti are headed for divorce after 15 years of marriage. The couple, who share two sons, Aarav and Ayaan, are now engaged in legal proceedings, with custody of their children being a significant point of contention.

Jayam Ravi has been vocal about his desire to secure custody of his sons, sharing his deep connection to them. In a recent interview, the actor emphasized that his children are his top priority and expressed his willingness to fight for their custody for as long as it takes. "My future is my children, and I’ll do whatever it takes to have them with me," he said, making it clear that Aarav and Ayaan are central to his happiness and future plans.

Although rumors have swirled around the reasons behind their split, including speculations of an extramarital affair, Jayam Ravi denied these claims. He addressed the rumors linking him to Kenishaa Francis, clarifying that their relationship is purely professional and spiritual. The two were planning to launch a spiritual healing center together, which led to false assumptions about an affair. He expressed frustration that these rumors had negatively affected his personal and family life.

Regarding his relationship with Aarti, Ravi acknowledged that while their marriage is coming to an end, there had been no attempt from her side to reconcile. He mentioned that if reconciliation had been a possibility, Aarti would have reached out to him in response to the divorce filings. He questioned her intent to reconcile, highlighting that the media’s focus on his supposed affair further proved otherwise.

Despite the turmoil in his personal life, Jayam Ravi remains focused on his career. His work in Ponniyin Selvan, where he played a pivotal role, has earned him widespread acclaim. Looking ahead, he shared his dream of introducing his son Aarav to the film industry by producing a movie with him.

As the divorce unfolds, Jayam Ravi is preparing for a long legal battle for custody, but he remains optimistic about the future, especially when it comes to his children and his career.
