Aarti Ravi gets emotional as she celebrates son Aarav Ravi's birthday, says, "This hasn't been an easy year"

Aarti Ravi recently took to her social media to share a heartfelt note on the occasion of her son Aarav Ravi’s birthday. The post included a couple of pictures featuring Aarav, cleverly keeping their faces out of the frame.

Aarti began her note with a touch of motherly humour, writing, "Somehow overnight… you've grown taller than me. And now you won't stop reminding me!" She went on to share that her son's growth wasn’t just physical but emotional too. "It's not just your height that's changed — it's your heart, your strength, your quiet resilience," Aarti wrote, revealing that the past year had been challenging for their family. She expressed how proud she was of Aarav's growth, especially his ability to stay strong through adversity.

She further added, "This year hasn't been easy — I know that. But you’ve faced every moment with more grace than most adults could. You've walked through it all with steady steps, silent strength… and a heart that still chooses to believe in the good. Happy Birthday, Aarav. You've grown in more ways than I can measure — and no matter how tall you get, or how much you tease me about it… you’ll always be my little boy, and I'll always be your biggest cheerleader."

Aarav Ravi is the son of actor Ravi Mohan and Aarti Ravi. The young star kid briefly stepped into the spotlight with his appearance in the 2018 Tamil sci-fi thriller Tik Tik Tik, directed by Shakti Soundar Rajan.

On the work front, Ravi Mohan will be seen playing lead roles in the upcoming films Genie and Karathey Babu. Interestingly, he is also set to portray a darker shade in Parasakthi, where he plays the antagonist. The much-anticipated film is directed by Sudha Kongara and stars Sivakarthikeyan and Sreeleela in key roles. Ravi Mohan's previous outing was 'Kadhalikka Neramillai'. The romantic film had Nithya Menen in the female lead. Ravi Mohan also teamed up with Mani Ratnam for 'Ponniyin Selvan'.
