Ravi Kishan was quoted talking to Indian Express about his father wherein he said, “He was a priest and being a Brahmin, he always wanted me to do farming or become a priest or do some government job. He never thought an artist can be born in his family. So dancing or playing the role of Sita in Ramleela was a bit shocking for him. Woh maarte the aur maine zindagi ko seekha (He would hit me and that’s how I learnt about life). So every beating from him was a lesson for me and he made Ravi Kishan,”

He went on to add about how he ran away from home after the beating got unbearable. “My father was beating me very badly and he was hammering me. He wanted to kill me and my mother was aware that her husband is capable of killing me and he will not hesitate because priests have less emotions. So she said ‘bhaag jao (run away)’,” he shared. In the same interaction, he also confessed that he ran away with only Rs. 500 in his pocket.

However, he did assert that now relationships are much better. In fact, he also mentioned how his father, before passing away, also called Ravi Kishan ‘the pride of the family’. Meanwhile, Ravi, who has won several accolades and awards, was last seen in the Kiran Rao film Laapataa Ladies which is set in rural India.
