Ravi Kishan Recalls How His Mother Was Sure That Father Would Kill Him; Says, “I Didn’t Cry When He Died’

Actor and politician Ravi Kishan recently opened up about a heartbreaking and life-changing moment from his childhood. In an interview with Shubhankar Mishra, he shared how his passion for acting led to a terrifying experience with his father when he was just 14 or 15 years old.

Ravi Kishan Shares Painful Childhood Story

As a teenager, Ravi loved participating in local Ramleela plays and often played the role of Sita. One day, while practicing with friends, he borrowed his mother’s saree to rehearse. But when he returned home, his father found out—and reacted violently. Recalling his relationship with his father, the actor shared with Raj Shamani, “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 do you pray so much? At the end of the day, you are still wearing a torn piece of cloth and have a broken cycle.” This made him angry and he hit me very hard.

Ravi then shared it was an everyday affair. “He would beat me up every day.” He added, “Because my dad never spoke to me or pampered me, I would feel him hitting me is the closest to loving me and communicating.”

His dad’s aggression once pushed him to leave the house. “One day my dad hit me so hard that I had to run away. That day, my mom gave me Rs 500 and said, ‘Please go, otherwise he will kill you today.’”
