Ravi Mohan opens up about his divorce

In an interaction with reporters on Saturday, Ravi Mohan addressed the criticism, cyberbullying, and ongoing divorce proceedings. "Many people think that I am a sadhu and can be scolded. It is foolish to have not spoken for so long. I will not act until I get a divorce. I have worked day and night for 23 years. 90% of my films have been successful. My father and my brother did not work for four years. I worked for my family when I was young. I am here for my family. I did not let my children see me," he said.

He further added, "I have lived in my past life for 14 years. Don't you know what feminism is? I talk about women's rights in my films. Do I speak badly of women? My mother did not raise me like that. How could I abandon my children? I lived for them. But today I am not allowed to see my children. They even send me to school with guardians. I ran away from that life."

Ravi Mohan gets emotional

At one point during the press interaction, the actor became visibly emotional and accused people of attempting to destroy his image publicly.

"I kept my mouth shut for my children. My parents fell at my feet and begged me not to have that girl. If there was a little love, would I have come? I have given everything in life. It was a great injustice that happened to me. I will come back after cleaning up my personal life. Until then, I will not act. They kept me as a slave. They cut off my hand and forced me to marry. They married me by threatening me. Don't play with someone's life," the actor said.
