After 18 years of shared history, I believe that such a significant matter should be handled with the grace, respect and privacy that it deserves."

In her post, Aarti alleged that her husband and actor Jayam Ravi refused to have a dialogue with her regarding their relationship and rather made the announcement publically. She added, “For some time, I have sought several opportunities to speak directly with my husband, hoping to have an open dialogue in a manner that honours the commitment we made to one another and to our family. Sadly, that opportunity was not afforded to me, leaving both my children and me completely blindsided by this announcement. The decision to walk out of our marriage is purely one-sided and does not benefit our family."
