The ongoing divorce battle between Jayam Ravi and his estranged wife Aarti Ravi has taken a significant turn. According to the latest reports, the court has rejected Aarti Ravi’s plea seeking ₹40 lakh per month as interim maintenance. Instead, it has directed Jayam Ravi to pay ₹3 lakh per month until the divorce proceedings reach their conclusion. The order is an interim arrangement and does not determine the final financial settlement between the two.
Court’s Interim Maintenance Order
The case has been closely followed ever since the couple’s marital dispute entered the public domain. Aarti Ravi had reportedly sought a substantially higher monthly maintenance, citing her financial requirements during the legal proceedings. However, after considering the matter, the court opted to grant ₹3 lakh per month as interim maintenance.
The final decision regarding permanent alimony, child support, and other financial matters will be taken only after the divorce case is fully heard. Jayam Ravi, known for his successful films like Ponniyin Selvan and Siren, has remained focused on his professional commitments during this period.
Public Reaction and Next Steps
The latest court order has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with opinions divided over the amount granted. While some believe the decision strikes a balance until the case is resolved, others continue to debate the financial claims made by both sides.
This is not the first high-profile celebrity divorce case to make headlines in recent months. Earlier this year, actor Vijay's divorce proceedings also drew significant attention, with similar disputes over maintenance and property.
As the legal proceedings continue, the next phase of Jayam Ravi and Aarti Ravi’s divorce case will determine the final settlement terms. Until then, the ₹3 lakh monthly maintenance remains in effect as per the court’s interim order.
