“In light of this, I hereby request all of you to respect our privacy as well as that of our family members during this difficult time and appeal to all of you to refrain from making any assumptions, rumours, or allegations in this regard and let the matter remain private.
“My priority has always remained the same – to continue bringing joy and entertainment through my films to my dearest audience.
“I am still and always be your Jayam Ravi – who is cherished by all of you throughout my career and as an actor who is dedicated to my craft and commitment to showcase the best of my talent.
“Your constant support means the world to me and I am grateful for the love you have showered on me over the years.
