Actor-politician Khushbu Sundar has publicly shown support for Aarti Ravi amid the ongoing controversy involving Tamil actor Ravi Mohan and singer-spiritual healer Keneeshaa Francis.
Days after her name was indirectly mentioned during the escalating public feud, Khushbu shared a family photograph on Instagram calling Aarti Ravi and her children “my family.”
Khushbu Shares Emotional Family Picture
Khushbu Sundar posted a smiling family picture featuring:
- Aarti Ravi
- Aarti’s children Aarav and Ayaan
- Producer Sujatha Vijayakumar
- Khushbu’s daughters Avantika and Anandita
The actor captioned the image with heart emojis and the hashtag:
“#myfamily”
In the photograph, Aarti is seen holding Khushbu closely while the family poses together.
The post has widely been viewed as Khushbu openly taking a stand in support of Aarti during the ongoing public fallout between Ravi Mohan and his estranged wife.
Social Media Reactions Divided
The Instagram post quickly sparked reactions online.
Some users criticised the public display of support, claiming it could intensify tensions surrounding the divorce controversy.
One comment read:
“You’re intentionally doing this to trigger someone.”
However, many others defended Khushbu and Aarti, praising the actor for standing beside a mother navigating a difficult public situation.
Another user wrote:
“More power to mothers protecting their children and dignity.”
Ravi Mohan and Aarti Ravi’s Separation
Ravi Mohan and Aarti Ravi got married in 2009. In 2024, Ravi publicly announced their separation after years of marriage.
Speculation surrounding Ravi’s alleged relationship with Keneeshaa Francis grew stronger in 2025 after the two attended a wedding together wearing coordinated outfits.
The divorce proceedings later became increasingly public and contentious.
Ravi alleged emotional abuse and claimed he was being prevented from meeting his children, while Aarti maintained silence for months before recently issuing a strong public statement.
Keneeshaa Francis Controversy Explained
The controversy escalated earlier this month after an allegedly offensive comment targeting Aarti appeared from Keneeshaa Francis’ Instagram account.
Keneeshaa later claimed:
- Her account had been hacked
- She was facing online bullying
- She was not responsible for Ravi and Aarti’s separation
Shortly afterwards, she shared another emotional note announcing she was quitting music and leaving Chennai, while also hinting at a possible breakup with Ravi Mohan.
Khushbu’s Earlier Support for Aarti
Before posting the family picture, Khushbu had already commented on Aarti Ravi’s emotional Instagram statement about protecting her children and dignity.
Khushbu wrote:
“Never mess with a mother. And you are a lioness with her cubs. More power to you my baby.”
Her latest post further reinforces where she stands amid the ongoing dispute.
Ravi Mohan’s Emotional Press Meet
Following the social media developments, Ravi Mohan held an emotional press conference in Chennai where he:
- Made fresh allegations regarding the divorce
- Indirectly referenced Khushbu Sundar
- Announced he would avoid acting projects until his divorce proceedings conclude
The controversy continues to generate significant discussion across Tamil cinema and social media circles.
