Aarti Ravi demands ₹40 lakh maintenance per month from Ravi Mohan in divorce case: Report
Last week has seen Tamil actor Ravi Mohan and his estranged wife, Aarti Ravi, in a battle on social media. Each of them has released statements that have made headlines over the last six months, giving the public fodder for gossip. As the allegations continue in public, their divorce proceedings have been ongoing in the Chennai Family Welfare court since last September, when Ravi initiated divorce proceedings.

Both parties appeared in court this week for the divorce proceedings in front of the 3rd Additional Family Welfare Court in Chennai. A report by News18 stated that Judge Thenmozhi heard Ravi Mohan's petition, in which he clearly stated that reconciliation was not possible and that he wanted a divorce. Aarti Ravi, meanwhile, reportedly filed a counter-petition stating that she needed ₹40 lakhs per month as maintenance as she needed financial support post-separtial. The judge adjourned the case until 12 June.
Ravi and Aarti had been married for 15 years, and it was in 2024 that he walked out of his house, stating irreconcilable differences and filing for divorce. Ravi's friendship with singer Keneeshaa Francis has been in the news, and when he stepped out with her officially at producer and entrepreneur Dr Ishari K Ganesh's daughter's wedding in Chennai last week, a fresh controversy erupted.
Aarti Mohan, in a note released on 20 May on her Instagram, alleged that it was because a 'third person' had entered their relationship that Ravi wanted a divorce. She did not name Keneeshaa in her note, but wrote that money, power, interference or control did not ruin their marriage. She called out the 'light of my life' statement that Ravi had made about Keneeshaa. She wrote, 'None of these are why our marriage suffers. There is a third person in our marriage. What broke us wasn't something between us - it was someone outside. The 'light of your life' brought only darkness to ours. That's the truth.'

Aamir Khan on Laal Singh Chaddha's failure, depression, and how Farhan Akhtar was almost cast in Sitaare Zameen Par
Actor and producer Aamir Khan has spoken honestly about how the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha affected him deeply, saying he was 'depressed, heartbroken and emotionally battered' after the film didn't connect with most audiences. In a recent interview with Indian Express, Aamir addressed the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha. He said, 'It was quite shocking for me because I'd also liked the film. So I was very surprised that people didn't like it. Let me just add here, because I know a lot of people love the film, 25% of the audience has really loved the film. But I also have to admit that the larger bulk, 75% of them didn't connect with the film, they didn't like my work, they had their issues. I understand and respect that. But it was difficult for me to accept." Following the setback, Aamir talked about how he stepped back from acting and decided not to star in his next production, 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. He explained that director RS Prasanna was asked to look for another actor. Eventually, Farhan Akhtar was locked in for the role, with Sivakarthikeyan signed on for the Tamil version. 'That time, I told Prasanna I wouldn't be able to act again so soon. Since the film is good and we've to make it, I asked him to cast someone else. He offered the film to many people. Everyone liked the script, and then finally, we locked Farhan for it. We were also making a Tamil version because Prasanna is a Tamilian. So we locked Sivakarthikeyan for that one," said Aamir. Despite having second thoughts, Aamir chose to be upfront with Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan, who were both understanding. Aamir said, 'On the seventh day, I told Prasanna and Divya, but also said now it's too late. Of course, the moment I said that, all hell broke loose. They insisted I only do it. But I thought it doesn't reflect well on me as a producer after I've locked the actors' dates. But Prasanna convinced me and said I should do it since I was his first choice.' He then concluded, 'So, I told Farhan and Sivakarthikeyan honestly about the journey I'd been through. They were both very supportive. If I was in their shoes, I'd have been very disappointed. But at the end of the day, Farhan and I are friends. Sivakarthikeyan and I are also very fond of each other. I'm hosting a premiere, so I'll definitely invite them for that." Aamir will now return to the screen in 'Sitaare Zameen Par', which is scheduled to release in theatres on June 20. The film will also feature Genelia Deshmukh.
