Ravi Kishan is a popular actor and politician nowadays. His performances in Laapataa Ladies and Maamla Legal Hai demonstrated that he was more than a provincial star. But he had to work hard for 33 years to get there. And before that, he had a horrible childhood in which his father, Shyam Narayan Shukla, beat him virtually every day. So much so that one day his mother told him to flee and gave him Rs 500. "He will kill you," the actor remembered. However, their relationship shifted as his father became older, and the actor referred to him as `his pride`, whose death altered his perspective on the world.

Ravi gets candid about his father

Ravi Kishan discussed his traumatic background on a recent podcast with Raj Shamani. "I was trying to prove to my father that I was worth loving," Ravi Kishan explained. The actor recalled his relationship with his father, saying, "He would often think I was nalayak (useless), and I wanted to prove that I wasn`t." He was a priest. Intelligent. "He was a proud Brahmin."

"I once asked him why he prayed so much. At the end of the day, you`re still wearing a ripped piece of clothing and have a broken cycle." This infuriated him, and he hit me hard.
