In an interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Ravi Kishan was asked about men encountering sexual predators while looking for work in Mumbai, to which he replied, “When you’re young and good-looking when you’re fit but have no money, some people attempt to take advantage of you. This happens in several fields, not just in the films. They try their hand and hope it works out. I have faced many such attacks in my youth. I was lean, I had long hair, and I wore an earring.”
