The messy split between actor Ravi Mohan and his estranged wife Aarti Ravi just got messier, with rumoured girlfriend Keneeshaa Francis now stepping into the spotlight.

As online hate pours in, Keneeshaa Francis took to Instagram to address the wave of abuse she's been receiving. She shared screenshots of messages she claims include death threats, all in the wake of allegations that she was the "third person" in Ravi and Aarti's marriage.

"I'm not turning off my comments or running away," she wrote defiantly in her Story.

"You have the right to question my actions, but do it to my face. I'm happy to show my side of the story in public. If you believe I'm at fault—take me to court. I beg you!"

In another post, she added, “You speak of karma to hurt me, but when the truth comes out—legally and legitimately—I won’t wish that same pain upon you.”

"Let me breathe without hatred"

Keneeshaa’s emotional messages continued with a plea for empathy. “If I’m wrong, I’m ready to be punished by law. Until then, can I be allowed to breathe without hatred?” she wrote, expressing her faith that the truth will eventually come out.

Courtroom clash: Alimony, allegations

On May 21, both Ravi and Aarti appeared in court with their respective petitions in the ongoing divorce case. Aarti is reportedly seeking Rs 40 lakh as monthly alimony, while Ravi has requested the court to reject her plea for resuming cohabitation.

The family court advised the couple to reconsider their positions and adjourned the hearing to June 12.

Ravi Mohan first made headlines last year when he publicly announced the end of his marriage with Aarti. But in a sharp rebuttal, Aarti claimed the decision was made without her consent.

The couple are parents to two sons, Aarav and Ayaan.
