Tamil actor Ravi Mohan recently made headlines with explosive statements following his divorce from Aarti Ravi. Now, Aarti's mother, Sujatha Vijayakumar, has broken her silence, responding to the allegations while emphasizing the family's caution due to the emotional stress on her grandson.
Sujatha Vijayakumar breaks her silence
At a recent event, Sujatha referred to a 2008 interview in Vikatan magazine, stating it contains important details about how the marriage took place. 'There was an interview in Vikatan magazine in 2008 that explained this. I am looking for it now. It reveals who got blackmailed and who cut their wrists to get married,' she said, as reported by Indian Express.
Sujatha Vijayakumar responds to medical bill claim
Sujatha also addressed Ravi Mohan's assertion that he paid Rs 25,000 per month toward her medical expenses. She denied the allegation and stated that even if he had provided such support, it would have been a normal family responsibility. 'Even if he did, it would be his duty as a son-in-law,' she said. She added that the family plans to approach cybercrime authorities to examine allegations of online harassment.
In an interview with ETV Bharat, Sujatha explained why she is avoiding a stronger public reaction. 'The reason I am not exaggerating this is because my grandson is writing his 10th standard exams and is under a lot of stress due to this issue. He has seen everything he should not have seen at a young age. That's why he's under a lot of stress.' She said protecting the child's emotional well-being is the family's top priority.

Sujatha also responded to Ravi Mohan's comments about film personalities supporting Aarti Ravi. 'In Tamil Nadu, when injustice is done to women, everyone speaks up. Millions of people comment on Aarti's posts. I won't accept if he says that two or three particular people supported her. I would like to not speak further on this matter, as it would be contempt of court. I have faith in the law. Give us time to answer all these allegations.' She said she trusts the legal process and asked for time.
Ravi Mohan speaks about his sons
During his press conference, Ravi Mohan defended his relationship with his children. 'I didn't speak for fourteen years. I have tolerated enough. I haven't seen my sons for so long, and now people are questioning my love for them. I have been paying Rs 50 lakh towards my sons' school fees so they can have a good life. Don't question my love for my children.' He also said, 'I don't know how to bribe or manipulate people. I am a very straightforward person. I stayed away for six months so I could gather the strength to answer your questions. Please don't hurt my wounds anymore.' Ravi Mohan further announced that none of his films will be released until the divorce proceedings are completed.
