After Divorce, Jayam Ravi Spotted With His New Girlfriend Kenishaa

After the divorce from Aarthi, Tamil actor Ravi Mohan aka Jayam Ravi made his first public appearance with his girlfriend Kenishaa Francis.

They were spotted at producer Ishari Ganesh's daughter's wedding in Chennai on Friday. The couple was seen sitting together at the wedding. It is interesting to note that Ravi and Kenishaa had earlier denied the reports which claimed that they were in a relationship.

Back then, Kenishaa had denied affair rumours and slammed Jayam Ravi's estranged wife Aarti for making her "scapegoat" in their divorce row.

Kenishaa's Response To Divorce

In an interview with DT Next, Kenishaa addressed speculation surrounding her connection to actor Jayam Ravi's divorce from his wife, Aarti. She clarified that Ravi reached out to her only after initiating divorce proceedings, stating: "He got in touch with me again around June, when he was mentally and emotionally bruised and battered from his marriage to Aarti. There are certain articles that say that I am the reason behind his separation with his ex-wife."

She dismissed these allegations as "false claims," emphasizing that Ravi contacted her discreetly to avoid scrutiny in Chennai. Reflecting on their first meeting, she noted it was strictly professional, with her congratulating him for speaking fondly of his family.

Goa Trip and Traffic Violation

Media reports suggested Aarti discovered Ravi and Kenishaa's relationship after his car was fined for speeding in Goa. Keneeshaa countered: "He drove down to Goa from Chennai all by himself and was exhausted. He couldn't locate my healing centre, hence my friend and I took my car and met him at a center point. I offered to drive him to the centre. Since I handed over my driving license, the challan was issued in my name. He could have been booked for overspeeding elsewhere, which is not my problem."

Kenishaa denied rumors of purchasing a Goa apartment with Ravi, adding: "I heard Ravi and I purchased an apartment in Goa. I have been manifesting this for a long time and I really wish we did. But, Ravi is a friend and a client of mine. I didn't even know Jayam Ravi well until he sent a divorce notice to his wife, who has blatantly lied that she isn't aware of what was to come. Any speculation about a romantic relationship is purely media-driven and they will be responsible even if something happens between us in future."

She reiterated that their relationship remains professional, with clear boundaries.

Allegations Against Aarti and Legal Threats

As a therapist, Kenishaa expressed distress over Ravi's emotional struggles, asserting: "I am self-made and my parents are no more. But as a therapist I can tell you that the pain Jayam Ravi's family has put him through is bigger than the pain of losing parents. As a therapist, it was beyond painful for me to hear about his struggles with Aarti and her parents. No one deserves so much abuse irrespective of the gender and I can release all the evidence with or without Ravi's permission in the court of law, from my notes of our therapy sessions."

She shifted accountability to Ravi and Aarti, accusing the latter of defamation:

"Anything to do with his divorce has to be questioned with Ravi and Aarti and their leading families. Just because Aarti is afraid of what she's done to Ravi, she cannot use me as scapegoat to cover up her doings. What Aarti has been doing in the last one month in tarnishing his image and to his bank accounts are questionable. This is not my circus and I cannot be battling this. If these rumour mills continue, I may have to consider legal action for defamation."
