Madras High Court issues MAJOR directive for Ravi Mohan and Aarti Ravi amid ongoing divorce battle
Actor Ravi Mohan announced his separation from wife Aarti in September 2024, and since then, the matter has escalated on social media. The couple has issued public statements against each other, leveling allegations and counterattacks. The situation further intensified after singer Kenishaa Francis' name surfaced as the alleged reason behind their split.
With the divorce proceedings currently underway, the Madras High Court has now issued a fresh directive to both parties.
This development comes after Ravi Mohan filed a petition in court seeking to restrain Aarti from making further derogatory remarks. The actor referred to a recent incident where his public appearance at a wedding with Kenishaa prompted Aarti to make open comments on social media.
According to a report by India Glitz, the court has now issued an order prohibiting both parties from making any more defamatory statements against each other, particularly on public platforms.
The directive has also instructed both Ravi and Aarti to delete or remove any previously shared defamatory statements about each other from social media. Additionally, the court advised the couple to address their grievances through legal proceedings rather than airing them in public.
This ruling by the Madras High Court comes in response to the series of public statements both parties had made against one another on social media.
Since this is a high-profile divorce case, legal authorities have stepped in to prevent any further controversy from being fueled around the matter.
For the unversed, earlier reports suggested that Aarti Ravi has allegedly demanded Rs. 40 lakhs per month as alimony or maintenance from her husband Ravi Mohan as part of their ongoing divorce proceedings.
While the court has adjourned the case to the next hearing on June 12, the actor has time until then to submit his response to the plea filed by his wife.
In other news, singer Kenishaa Francis recently took to social media to share that she has been receiving hate and threatening messages, including disturbing and harmful content directed at her.
The singer-turned-therapist appealed for 'a moment of breath without hatred' from everyone.

Thug Life Box Office Collection Day 7: Kamal Haasan's Film Struggles, Mints Rs 42 Crore In Week 1
Thug Life has witnessed a dip at the Indian box office. The Mani Ratnam film has minted Rs 1.25 crore on day 7, June 11. With this, the total collection of Thug Life stands at Rs 42.25 crore, reported Sacnilk. The film, which was released on June 5, faced tough competition from Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 at the box office. Thug Life saw an 'overall 15.57% Tamil Occupancy,' the report added. The film has been backed by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies. Trisha Krishnan, T.R. Silambarasan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, and Mahesh Manjrekar are also part of the film. Kamal Haasan collaborated with Main Ratnam after 38 years for Thug Life. They last film together was Nayakan in 1987. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter India, Kamal Haasan opened up about his admiration for Mani Ratnam. 'We both wrote the lm together. When I say we wrote it together, it's not the noise of two pens scribbling together. I nished what I perceived would be a good lm to make. I nished a script, and it was called 'Amar Hai', which is a pun. A man who is believed to be dead is not dead. His name is 'Amar', and that is the problem. I had etched it, and then Mani took it as an idea and went on to embellish it,' he said. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his NDTV review, gave Thug Life 2 stars. He said. ' Thug Life isn't quite the kind of film that you expect to be a huge disappointment. In an era in which scepticism, even trepidation, precedes the decision to watch a movie that has blockbuster aspirations, a Mani Ratnam movie, no matter what genre it belongs to, is usually an exception. It generates both anticipation and excitement.'

You've paid money to watch it and so, you get to have an opinion on my film. It's not a placid film about which you don't care or have an opinion. For those who're calling it out, I want to say that it's your choice of seeing and focusing on that aspect of the film'.

Ranveer Singh rejected this film, called it ‘too dark', the role then went to this actor who got his career's biggest superhit, his name is…, the film was…
Even though he is a Star kid, he started his journey with a scratch. A background dancer in the late '90s, he then entered his sweet chocolate boy era, officially stepping into the spotlight in 2003 with Ishq Vishq, a teen romance that turned into a sleeper hit. But the road ahead wasn't smooth! But not every Bollywood star begins with a grand launch or a string of hits — some build their legacy one stumble at a time. And Shahid Kapoor's story in B-town is pretty similar. Despite making his fans and critics go gaga over his performance in a handful of movies like Kaminey, Haider, and Badmaash Company, Shahid's career remained inconsistent, peppered with more flops than hits — until 2019 changed everything. Enter Kabir Singh — a film that rewrote his destiny. The Bollywood remake of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Telugu cult hit Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, had everything riding against it: controversy, bold content, and high expectations. But it shattered all doubts. Kabir Singh's budget and earnings Made on a modest Rs 60 crore budget, the film stormed the box office and minted Rs 379 crore globally, becoming the second highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. More importantly, it reestablished Shahid Kapoor as a bankable leading man. Was Shahid Kapoor not the first choice for the film? But wait a minute. Did you know Shahid Kapoor wasn't the first choice for the film? Yep! Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga initially wanted Ranveer Singh to step into the role. However, Ranveer turned down the offer, reportedly finding the script 'too dark', according to reports. Ironically, Vanga's intensity and storytelling would later give Ranbir Kapoor the biggest hit of his career with Animal (2023). Seems like Ranveer took notes — he's now set to appear in the gritty action drama Dhurandhar. Meanwhile, Kabir Singh didn't just revive Shahid's career — it also marked Vanga's explosive Bollywood debut. The film stirred debates, sparked memes, and divided critics, but one thing was certain: it struck a chord with the masses. From dancing in the shadows to headlining a Rs 379 crore sensation, Shahid Kapoor's journey is a Bollywood plot twist in itself — one that almost belonged to someone else.
