Rajat Sharma, Editor-in-Chief and Chairman of India TV questioned the Bhojpuri superstar known as the Dev Anand of the Bhojpuri film industry in his loved and well-liked program Aap Ki Adalat. While winning the audience’s hearts with his many memorable dialogues, Ravi Kishan answered Rajat Sharma’s concerns about his transition from the film industry to politics honestly. He revealed how Bigg Boss changed his life. He even accepted that he became arrogant after getting success in Bhojpuri films.
The turning point in his life came when he participated in the popular reality show “Bigg Boss.” When did Rajat Sharma ask him did Bigg Boss reform you? Ravi Kishan said, “I had become arrogant after my movies became hits. My wife advised me to join Bigg Boss. After initial reluctance, I went. After remaining locked in their set for three months, when I came out, I had changed a lot. Not only I became popular, but I became a normal person. I sorted out my family life, my wife and children, during that period. After I came out of three months of ‘prison’, I became a prisoner of spirituality. Bigg Boss affected my life deeply.”
He added, When you are locked in for a period, you either deteriorate or you reform yourself. You have time on your hands, no mobile, no TV, nothing. Whatever you do, you use your brain. Rajat Sharma also asked about the risk of joining Bigg Boss as he had 17 films in hand.
Ravi Kishan answered, “It was a big risk. I thought by the time I come out, there will be many new heroes. In the film industry, if you are missing for even two days, new heroes emerge. It is natural. Nobody waits for you. We live under a false impression that the industry runs because of you. Nobody should have such a false impression. The wheel of time moves. I knew I was taking a risk, for the sake of my family”.
Ravi Kishan’s story is a reminder that success should never be taken for granted. It is essential to stay grounded, appreciates the small things in life, and remain humble no matter how successful one becomes. It takes courage to admit one’s mistakes and work towards improving oneself, and Ravi Kishan is a prime example of that.
