DEEPLY UNSETTLING ! Watching Tamil Actor Ravi Mohan break down so publicly was deeply unsettling. "I am a quiet person. So, everyone thinks I am weak.I am quitting acting until I get my divorce. I am being prevented from meeting my own children" "To this day, I do not have a single personal bank account. I had only one joint account.Even if I withdrew a small amount, I would get an immediate call asking why I took the money" Whenever there is a marital dispute, society almost instantly assumes that only the woman is suffering. But relationships are complicated, painful, and emotionally devastating for everyone involved. Men are human too. They have emotions, fears, anxieties, and breaking points. They can also go through mental trauma, loneliness, emotional harassment, separation from children, public humiliation, and silent depression. Supporting women and acknowledging women’s pain is absolutely important. But empathy cannot be selective. Compassion cannot become gender specific. The way many people mocked, judged, and targeted Ravi Mohan without even pausing to understand his emotional state is honestly worrying. A man crying in public should not become entertainment.A father speaking about emotional pain should not become a meme. Sometimes the strongest thing a man does is to admit that he is hurt. @actor_jayamravi
