Amid years of alleged issues in Aarti Ravi and Ravi Mohan’s relationship, which ended in a separation in September 2024, and the following rumors of him having an affair with Keneeshaa Francis, there seems to be a new update. On May 15, the singer shared an update on her Instagram account, announcing her break from social media and her decision to leave Chennai. She also alluded to her split from the Parasakthi star in her update.

Now, the actor’s ex-wife, Aarti Ravi, has reacted to the lengthy note. On Saturday morning, she dropped a post with the words, “You never wake a sleeping lion. God help if she’s a mamma lion. My dignified silence should never be mistaken for weakness or taken undue advantage of. If needed, to protect my children and my dignity, I will step out of my comfort zone and face the world with the truth. Because truth always prevails.” While she did not name-drop anyone, many are convinced that it is in response to Keneeshaa Francis’ update

This post comes amid Keneeshaa Francis’ claims of leaving Ravi Mohan ‘with complete detachment’ due to online trolling and false claims being made against her and concerning her relationship with the star. Previously, there have been claims of infidelity from Aarti’s side during her 15-year marriage with Ravi Mohan. The couple shares two kids, sons Aarav and Ayaan, with the older one making his movie appearance alongside his father in Tik Tik Tik (2018). Ravi Mohan is yet to react to Keneeshaa Francis’ note as well as his ex-wife’s update.
