Ravi Kishan has become a social media sensation, with several clips of his energetic dance performances, his ‘Kotheshwaray’ singing act, to ‘maun vrat’ and other candid interview moments going viral. Amid the attention, the actor-politician recently shared his wife Preeti Shukla’s amusing reaction to his newfound internet popularity.
Ravi Kishan reveals wife Preeti’s hilarious reaction
Appearing on a recent segment of News18 India, Ravi revealed that Preeti has joked about keeping him indoors so that he stops going viral.
Recalling her reaction, Ravi said, “Patni humko boli, ‘Tum ghar se nikalte ho toh viral hote ho,’ toh woh baccho ko bol rahi thi ki inko yahi kamre me lock kar dete hai. Na yeh niklenge na yeh viral honge (My wife told me, ‘Whenever you step out of the house, you go viral.’ So she was telling the kids, ‘Let’s just lock him in this room. That way, he won’t step out and he won’t go viral’).”
Ravi Kishan recalls being ‘locked up’ in Bigg Boss
Ravi also connected the joke to an earlier phase of his career when Preeti pushed him to participate in Bigg Boss. In a previous interview, he recalled that he had become increasingly arrogant while working on multiple films simultaneously.
“That’s when my wife took me to Bigg Boss and locked me up there. She thought I was going crazy. At that time, I had too much money. I used to work in three shifts in those days. I was working in 17 films at the same time. I would sleep in my car and only sleep when I was travelling from one set to another. At one point, I was shooting for five films in the same studio,” he said.
Ravi further recalled, “I didn’t have work and didn’t have money, so when I got it, I didn’t want to lose it. So somewhere, I was starting to get arrogant. That’s when my wife locked me in Bigg Boss for three months.”
According to Ravi, his stint on the reality show changed his outlook. “That’s where everyone started liking me, and they were not even eliminating me. When I got out of there, it felt like three years had passed.” He added that he became a “sorted person” after the show and began receiving more offers from Bollywood.
Ravi Kishan’s family
Ravi Kishan and Preeti Shukla have been married since 1993. The couple has four children — daughters Riva, Ishita and Tanishka, and son Saksham.
