Tamil actor Jayam Ravi, also known by his real name Ravi Mohan, is now facing a dramatic turn in his ongoing divorce case with wife Aarthi Ravi. The case, already attracting public attention due to its high-profile nature, has now taken a more serious turn as both parties appeared in court for the latest hearing.

In a recent petition submitted to the court, Jayam Ravi made it clear that he no longer wishes to continue the marriage, urging the court to reject Aarthi's request for reconciliation. Responding firmly, Aarthi filed a counter-petition demanding ₹40 lakh per month as maintenance.

The demand for such a substantial monthly sum has stirred major buzz not just in legal circles, but across the film industry and media, given Jayam Ravi’s stature as one of the leading actors in Tamil cinema. The public and entertainment world alike are watching the developments closely, as the case unfolds in a very personal and very public courtroom drama. The court has directed both parties to respond to each other’s petitions before the next hearing, which has been scheduled for June 12. This timeline gives both sides a chance to gather more legal grounds and provide written arguments on the respective demands.

Aarthi’s ₹40 lakh-per-month maintenance request has led to considerable speculation. Industry insiders are debating the basis of such a high claim, while others point out the challenges celebrity spouses face during high-profile breakups, including media scrutiny and personal toll.

Jayam Ravi and Aarthi have long maintained a low-key image despite Ravi’s stardom. Their relationship had largely remained out of the spotlight, making the current legal battle even more surprising and emotionally charged for fans.

As the couple navigates this complicated phase, the legal outcome of the maintenance petition and Ravi’s request to dissolve the marriage will shape the next chapter in their public and private lives. Given the financial figures and the personalities involved, the case has quickly become one of the most discussed divorce proceedings in South Indian celebrity circles. With the next court date approaching, the public waits with bated breath for the June 12 developments hoping for clarity, resolution, or perhaps even more unexpected twists in this real-life drama.
