Tamil actor Ravi Mohan opened up about his relationship with rumoured girlfriend Keneeshaa Francis, months after ugly divorce with Aarti Ravi. On Thursday (May 15), the Ponniyin Selvan actor released an official statement and denied the allegations levelled against him by Aarti.
In his long note, he also stated that Keneeshaa stood by his side when he decided to part ways from Aarti and leave his home. Ravi also gave a befitting reply to those who called her a 'home-wrecker' after his divorce.
Ravi wrote, "With regards to Keneeshaa Francis, who was initially a friend that chose to save a drowning man, very quickly became a lifeline of support when I had nothing but tears, blood, and the courage to walk away from a life that nearly broke me. She stood by me on the night I left my own home barefoot, in a night suit - when I was stripped of my wallet, my vehicles, documents, my belongings and even my basic dignity. Acknowledging the sensitivities of the situation - Keneeshaa didn't hesitate. She didn't flinch. She simply showed up. She is a beautiful companion, and I assure you this - She carries light."
The actor's statement further mentioned, "She saw all the battles I was fighting - legal, emotional, financial, and chose to be there, not for fame, not for attention, but out of sheer empathy and strength. She reminded me that I carried light and deserved to be happy. And I will only pay this forward to every single person out there fighting silent battles. I hope you find a 'Light' in your life too. For what she has done for me, my parents, and my team who kept me going is one for the books and a much respectable one. I will not ever allow even a whisper of disrespect toward her character or her profession."
Praising Keneeshaa further, Ravi wrote, "She is a spiritual therapist - YES, an amazing singer too and a good one at it. The minute she heard my story in brief at the start, she assured me that she would help me only as a friend then and NOT AS A THERAPIST, as it's against the law and I more than anyone understand that having suffered with a family of social defenders and extorters."
"People in her line of work often live in silence, bound by NDAs, blamed unfairly. But I know the truth. And those who know me, know my gratitude. And I will say this, if you respect my heart, then you will do the same for Keneeshaa personally and professionally. I am wise enough to understand who here has taken me for granted and the people who aren't capable of doing so. No one can be a HOME-WRECKER or destroy my life. Once bitten twice shy is said, but I was bitten a million times and so I Know What I Am Doing. I am a well informed individual and truly hope that all of you will give me unwavering understanding whilst I live for my true calling -'Cinema'," Ravi concluded.
Keneeshaa and Ravi were spotted together recently at a wedding in Chennai. Dressed in traditional outfits, they make joint appearances and were all smiles in the now-viral videos.
In September 2024, Ravi had revealed that he was ending his 15-year marriage with Aarti, with whom he shares two sons, Aarav and Ayaan.
