I regarded him not just as my son-in-law, but as my own son: Sujatha responds to Ravi Mohan's accusations

Recently, Ravi Mohan released a statement in which he made several accusations against his estranged wife, Aarti Ravi, including being coerced into signing a surety for her mother and producer Sujatha Vijaykumar’s multi-crore loan.Referring to Ravi Mohan’s allegations against her as 'defamatory', Sujatha, who produced three consecutive films (Adanga Maru, Bhoomi, and Siren) with the Ponniyin Selvan actor, shared, “For these projects, I borrowed over ₹100 crore from financiers. Out of that amount, I paid 25% as salary to Mr. Jayam Ravi. I have full documentation to substantiate this. Now, Mr. Jayam Ravi has made a false accusation that I made him liable for my debts during the release of these films. There is absolutely no truth to this. Even if I had viewed him merely as an actor, I would never have compelled him in such a way. But I regarded him not just as my son-in-law, but as my own son. I was determined to ensure that he never faced any hardship.”"Even during the release of Siren, Mr. Jayam Ravi only gave a letter stating that he would act in my next film to compensate for the loss. Nowhere and at no point did he take responsibility for the loan or sign any document stating that he would repay it. Furthermore, for the film that Mr. Jayam Ravi promised to act in for me, he himself selected a director and instructed me to pay him in advance. Without any objection, I did so,” she added.Addressing Ravi’s accusation that she had recently called him to compensate for the surety he allegedly gave for her loans, Sujatha stated, “For over a year, despite multiple efforts, Mr. Jayam Ravi avoided meeting us. Just ten days ago, I sent him a message — not as a producer but as a mother—with the sole intention of resolving the issue within the family. It was never to pressure him, as he has claimed.”Sujatha also mentioned that she still considers Ravi Mohan as her son and added, “Even now, I genuinely wish that my daughter and son-in-law live together happily for the sake of their children — my grandchildren.”
