Raveena Ravi, the well-known actress and dubbing artist, has embarked on a new chapter in her life by marrying filmmaker Devan Jayakumar. Devan is best recognized for directing the critically acclaimed film 'Valatty,' which garnered positive reviews for its unique narrative. The wedding was an intimate affair, attended only by immediate family members and a select group of close friends. The news was revealed by veteran actress and dubbing artist Sreeja Ravi, who is Raveena's mother.
Sreeja Ravi Requests Blessings
In a heartfelt note, Sreeja Ravi wrote, "To all dear & near ones. With all humility, love and gratitude, I seek your heartfelt blessings and prayers for our beloved daughter, Raveena Ravi, who has entered a beautiful new chapter in life with Devan (Director of Valatty)." She emphasized that the wedding was intentionally kept simple and private. "The wedding was conducted in a very intimate manner, with only our immediate family and a few close friends present. It had always been our dream to celebrate this occasion with all our close ones - the many friends, colleagues, celebrities, technicians, and extended family who have been part of our lives and journey throughout this 50 years of film journey."
Sreeja Ravi also candidly spoke about the emotional challenges she faced while organizing her daughter's wedding without her husband, the late dubbing legend Ravi. She wrote, "But emotionally, this was not an easy moment for me. Celebrating such a special occasion without my beloved husband Raviyettan, left me deeply overwhelmed. Everything happened within a short span of time, and I truly did not have the strength - emotionally or physically - to organize anything elaborate."
Gratitude and a Warm Welcome to Devan
Sreeja expressed gratitude to those who supported her during the wedding preparations. "A special note of gratitude to my youngest sibling Jyo and RaghiJyo for being my pillars of strength always. Heartfelt thanks as well to Kavitha Arumugam, Vijay Krish, Akshay, Beula, Jayanthi and everyone who stood beside me as my support system. By God's grace and the blessings of all my mentors and well-wishers, everything went beautifully. More than anything, I am happy that I have now gained a loving son and a warm family through Devan." She also expressed happiness that her daughter would continue her artistic journey after marriage.
Raveena Ravi to Continue Acting and Dubbing
"As a mother, one of my biggest joy is knowing that Raveena will continue pursuing her passion for dubbing and acting with the love and encouragement of her new family," Sreeja concluded. She also apologized to those who could not be invited personally. "I sincerely apologize to everyone whom I could not personally invite or inform. Please forgive me and do not hold it against me. Your love and blessings mean the world to us. Please keep Raveena & Devan in your prayers and bless them wholeheartedly as they begin this beautiful journey together."
Devan made his directorial debut with 'Valatty,' an adventure-comedy romance told from the perspective of dogs. The film received positive reviews for its innovative storytelling.
