1.From Rs 500 to Mumbai Dreams
Born on 17 July 1969 in Mumbai and raised in Jaunpur, Ravi Kishan's early life was marked by poverty and ambition. At 17, with Rs 500 from his mother, he arrived in Mumbai chasing stardom. He lived in a cramped room and earned just Rs 5,000 for his debut film Pitambar (1992), but the spark was lit.
2.Bhojpuri icon, Bollywood face
Though Ravi Kishan appeared in Tere Naam and Phir Hera Pheri, his true fame came in Bhojpuri cinema with hits like Saiyaan Hamar and Ganga. He acted in over 450 films and even dubbed for Spider-Man 3 in Bhojpuri, the first ever for a Hollywood film.
3.Real life and reality TV
Married to Preeti Shukla since 1993, Ravi Kishan is a father of four. His stint on Bigg Boss 1 made him a household name beyond cinema. He later appeared on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5 and revealed facing the casting couch in his struggling years.
4.The politician with mic
After a failed 2014 Congress run, he joined BJP in 2017 and won the Gorakhpur Lok Sabha seat in 2019 and 2024. He introduced a bill to make Bhojpuri an official language and won the Sansad Ratna Award for his active role in Parliament.
