Divorce headlines love a big number — and “Rs 40 lakh a month” has been doing the rounds about actor [Ravi Mohan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravi_Mohan) and estranged wife Aarti Ravi. But according to Aarti’s mother, producer Sujatha Vijayakumar, the internet got the story wrong.

### What Sujatha Actually Said

Speaking to the press, Sujatha clarified that the Rs 40 lakh figure was never a personal allowance demand from Aarti. It’s a combined monthly total covering the couple’s children — school fees, food, tuition, and extracurriculars — not a lump sum for Aarti herself.

She also alleged that Ravi Mohan left the family in serious debt, claiming a bank had even issued a *japti* (seizure notice), leaving the kids without money for basic school expenses.

### Where The Rs 40 Lakh Comes From

| Expense Head | Reported Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Children’s school (US-curriculum school) | Rs 86 lakh per year |
| Monthly support to Aarti | Rs 3 lakh |
| Monthly support per child | Rs 1 lakh each |
| Extracurricular activities | Additional, cost not specified |
| Total combined monthly figure | ~Rs 40 lakh |

Sujatha stressed that Aarti never stopped Ravi Mohan from meeting the kids — the number is purely about covering their upbringing costs, not cutting him off emotionally.

### Ravi Mohan’s Cryptic Reply

Hours later, Ravi Mohan posted on Instagram Stories: he thanked people who “stood by him like true friends,” called out those acting with “contempt,” and declared that “the 4 of us will not ever be in the same room together” as long as he’s alive — a clear signal the rift shows no sign of healing.

The back-and-forth is the latest chapter in one of South cinema’s most talked-about separations, following months of public allegations from both sides.
