Ravi Kishan developed obnoxious attitude after stardom, says his ego was beaten out of him after father and brothers' deaths: ‘Tevar chala gaya'

Ravi Kishan first brush stardom and success came only after he started appearing in Bhojpuri films in the 1990s. Such was the magnitude of his success that, by his own admission, he went a 'little crazy'. But, soon afterwards, life got him back on track. In a recent interview, Ravi shared that in the early 2000s, every film that he starred in was turning into a silver jubilee hit, meaning that ran in theatres for at least 25 weeks. He admitted that he was starting to behave in an obnoxious way because of his success, which was why his wife made him sign up for Bigg Boss. In a chat with Raj Shamani, Ravi shared, 'I had gone a little crazy. All my films were silver jubilees. Films are now in cinemas for a couple of weeks, but back then, all my films would be in theaters for 25 weeks. So one is bound to go a little crazy.' He added, 'Humko lagta tha kaat le kisiko.' Ravi shared that he had achieved this after a lot of struggle but his wife sensed that he was going overboard. 'And at that time, my wife sent me to Bigg Boss for 3 months and locked me in.' When asked what humbled him afterwards, Ravi shared, 'I encountered a lot of obstacles in life. My father died. Two of my older brothers died at a young age. All of my attitude, my ego went away after that.' He shared in Hindi, 'Papa chale gaye, tevar chala gaya (My father died, and my attitude went away with him.). He was my pride, my pride went away.'

'I love my wife, Preeti. I just pray to god that she must never fall ill. I don't want to watch her get old but I know she will get old. I know one day she will die. Either she will die first or I will, I know that too. I know that this will all happen,' he shared. He said that when he finds himself in the middle of some obstacle or controversy, his first call is to his wife. Calling his family his 'strength,' Ravi shared that they are his sounding board when it comes to his career in cinema, his appearances or whatever other problems he might encounter. 'My four kids, my wife and me – these are my protectors. I just listen to their voices and make all of my own decisions because these kinds of controversies will keep happening. You can't do much about it,' he said.

'What #Saiyaara is achieving is both UNIMAGINABLE and UNPRECEDENTED… The film is in rampage mode – not just across metros, but also in Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres... Midnight shows are being added to meet the overwhelming demand. Sunday is expected to surpass both Friday and Saturday... A ₹ 75 cr [+/-] weekend is very much on the cards – HISTORIC, especially for a film headlined by newcomers. Going by current trends, #Saiyaara is set to become the second #Blockbuster of 2025, after #Chhaava. Advertisement
