Aarti Ravi’s father takes legal action against singer Suchitra over defamatory comments: REPORT

Ravi Mohan and Aarti Ravi's divorce has become the talk of the town ever since they announced their separation last year. While the case is still under hearing, singer Suchitra has come under fire. Aarti’s father has filed a complaint against her for making defamatory comments about Aarti in a video.

What are the allegations against Suchitra?

According to a report by Asianet News, Aarti Ravi’s father has alleged that Suchitra's recent statements were defamatory and a serious invasion of privacy. The complaint pointed out that her videos and social media posts sparked unnecessary rumours. These, he said, caused damage to the family’s long-standing reputation in the Tamil film industry.

He added that the family’s dignity, especially that of his wife and daughter, was unfairly attacked. Aarti's father also expressed concern over how private matters were dragged into the public eye without consent.

As per other reports, the complainant now seeks legal action under several laws. These include Sections 79, 294, and 353 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with Sections 66(a) and 67 of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
