Happy birthday Ravi Kishan: 6 films of the Bhojpuri star where he left an impact despite not being in the lead
Ravi Kishan doesn't need any introduction. A superstar in the Bhojpuri cinema, he has also worked extensively in Hindi films as well as Telugu and Kannada films. Though he did not play a lead role in those films, as a supporting actor too, Ravi left his mark on the audience. Ravi Kishan is a massive star in Bhojpuri cinema, and he himself admitted once that he does Bollywood roles for 'personal satisfaction'. In an interview with IANS, the actor once shared, 'In Bhojpuri cinema, I have to play larger than life roles. Here (in Bollywood) I can play smaller characters. I do this for my own personal satisfaction. I get to play different shades. Right from Tere Naam, I have done different characters.' Ravi Kishan has indeed played many interesting roles in Bollywood. On Ravi Kishan's birthday, here's a look at some of his impactful roles over the years. Scroll to see a list: Laapataa Ladies (2024) A post shared by Jio Studios (@officialjiostudios) Kiran Rao's film won many hearts and also set the box office on fire, and Ravi Kishan's role in the film just cannot be missed. The actor played the role of Inspector Shyam Manohar, a quirky yet sharp-witted police officer in rural India. While he appears comical and carefree on the surface, he's actually clever and observant. He was the one who gradually unraveling the mystery of the 'missing brides'. Ravi Kishan well portrayed a role which needed a perfect balance of humor and sincerity, making it one of the standout performances in the film. Phir Hera Pheri (2006) Ravi Kishan plays the character named Chhote, who was one half of the comic gangster duo 'Chhote and Babu Bhaiya', working for the main villain Tiwari (played by Sharat Saxena). Ravi Kishan's character in the film was loud, over-the-top, and comically threatening, perfectly fitting the film's slapstick tone. Ravi Kishan did not have a major role in the film but he appears in several hilarious sequences involving guns, ransom, and mistaken identities. Ravi Kishan's exaggerated acting and comic timing left a memorable impression. His chemistry with Manoj Joshi (as Babu Bhaiya) and interactions with the central trio (Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal) added extra flavor to the film's final, confusion-filled scenes. Tere Naam (2003) Ravi Kishan played the role of Aslam, a close friend of the main character Radhe, portrayed by Salman Khan. Ravi Kishan's character was a part of Radhe's small group of loyal friends. He provides emotional and moral support during Radhe's tumultuous love story and downward spiral. His character reflected Radhe's bond with his community and highlights the strong friendship themes in the film. In Tere Naam too, the actor was not the lead role but his role stood out. Luck (2009) Ravi Kishan plays the grey character with remarkable ease in this film. His character was named Raghav Raghuvaran, also referred to as Raghu. Ravi Kishan's bold and edgy performance stood out in a film filled with action and suspense. His role brought raw energy and unpredictability, earning him praise for holding his own alongside stars like Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan, and Mithun Chakraborty. Bullet Raja (2013) In this film, Ravi Kishan played the role of Sumer Yadav, a local politician and one of the key antagonists in the film. He is part of the corrupt political-criminal nexus that the main characters—Raja Mishra (Saif Ali Khan) and Rudra (Jimmy Shergill)—come into conflict with. He was cunning and ambitious, power-hungry, and played a critical role in escalating the gang wars and political rivalries that form the heart of the film's plot. Though he was again not the lead, but Ravi Kishan brought a strong screen presence and his performance added intensity and realism to the gritty world of politics, betrayal, and crime depicted in the film. Batla House (2019) Ravi Kishan played the role of Inspector KK (Kishan Kumar Verma), a brave, no-nonsense, and duty-bound officer. His role is crucial in the early part of the film, especially during the intense encounter sequence, which is the film's central event. Though his screen time is limited, Ravi Kishan's performance was powerful and emotionally resonant. Ravi is known for his ability to play a variety of roles, from comic to negative characters, showcasing his versatility as an actor. Here's wishing a very happy birthday to the actor!

Traitors' Sudhanshu Pandey, Harsh Gujral On Trolling: 'When Salman Khan Or Shah Rukh Khan Post...'
Last Updated: Harsh Gujral and Sudhanshu Pandey, recently seen on The Traitors, spoke to News18 about Rebel Kid (Apoorva Mukhija) and the trolling she has faced in recent past. The Traitors concluded with Nikita Luthar and Uorfi Javed emerging as winners, while Harsh Gujral and Sudhanshu Pandey finished as first and second runners-up. On the show, Harsh and Sudhanshu maintained a decent rapport with each other, and after the finale, the duo sat down for a conversation with News18 Showsha, where they spoke about Rebel Kid AKA Apoorva Mukhija and whether she has been subjected to trolling due to any misunderstanding. Apoorva, who has recently faced public scrutiny due to an ongoing controversy, creates content that didn't sit well with Sudhanshu Pandey. While he questioned the kind of content Apoorva makes, he also addressed the trolling she faces and shared, 'There's no limit to trolling, and one can't do much about it." Further elaborating, he added, 'You can visit Shah Rukh Khan's Twitter account or Salman Khan's posts — whenever they post something, the kind of abusive comments netizens make is shocking. You can't really do much about it. You can't let it bother you." Meanwhile, Harsh Gujral spoke about how trolling is just part of the business, as not everyone will agree with the kind of content a creator makes. He said, 'There is always a section of the audience that will either support or oppose you — it happens to everyone. If you take my example, I would also say that I've been misunderstood by many because they didn't get my jokes. It happens to everyone, especially on Instagram, where memers often post your reels. The internet is such a space where every celebrity has to face trolling."

'Mujhe itna dar laga…': When Salman Khan warned fans not to follow his ‘Tere Naam' character
Salman Khan 's portrayal of Radhe in the 2003 cult classic Tere Naam remains one of his most talked-about performances. But behind the intensity and heartbreak of the character was a very real fear, not for himself, but for his fans. Earlier Salman revealed in a conversation on Aap Ki Adalat, how deeply uneasy he felt about playing Radhe, a tragically obsessive lover. 'Mujhe itna dar laga, ki maine socha mai ye nahi karunga,' he admitted, reflecting on how the disturbing nature of Radhe's character made him reconsider even taking up the role. 'Don't Be Like Radhe,' Warns Salman Salman went on to explain that Tere Naam marked the first time in his career where he had planned how to promote the film before shooting even began. His message was clear: 'Ye picture zaroor dekhna, but is character ko kabhi follow mat karna' — watch the movie, but don't imitate the character. Calling Radhe a 'loser,' Salman highlighted how the character destroys his own life in blind obsession over a girl. 'Yeh ek ladki ke piche pagal ho raha hai aur apni zindagi barbad kar diya… age badho life me,' he urged his fans. He feared that Radhe's extreme actions like stalking and emotional turmoil might be misinterpreted as signs of true love by impressionable viewers. Reel vs. Real: Style, Not Substance Salman's hairstyle, fashion, and intense expressions in the film became iconic — aspects Salman said fans could follow. But he stressed drawing the line between on-screen dramatics and real-life behavior. Coming to present, Salman Khan was recently seen in the action entertainer film 'Sikandar' which received mediocre reviews from the audiences. The movie was directed by AR Murugadoss.
