Tamil
actor
Jayam
Ravi
has
announced
his
separation
from
his
wife
Aarti
after
15
years
of
marriage.

Taking
to
his
X
account,
Ravi
shared
a
statement,
where
he
explained
the
decision
to
part
ways
was
made
after
careful
thought
and
discussion.

‘It
is
with
a
heavy
heart
that
I
must
share
a
deeply
personal
update
with
all
of
you,’
he
wrote.

‘After
much
thought,
reflections,
and
discussions,
I
have
taken
the
difficult
decision
to
proceed
with
the
dissolution
of
my
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.

‘In
light
of
this,
I
hereby
kindly
request
all
of
you
to
respect
our
privacy
as
well
as
that
of
our
family
members
during
this
difficult
time
and
appeal
to
all
of
you
to
refrain
from
making
any
assumptions,
rumours,
or
allegations
in
this
regard
and
let
the
matter
remain
private.’

The
news
of
their
separation
comes
months
after
rumours
began
circulating
when
Aarti
deleted
pictures
of
the
couple
from
her
Instagram
page.

The
couple,
who
married
in
June
2009,
are
parents
to
two
sons,
Aarav
and
Ayaan.
