Ravi Kishan Shukla is an Indian actor, politician, film producer, and television personality. His Hindi name is Ravi Kiha. He now represents Gorakhpur in the Lok Sabha as a member of parliament. His filmography is primarily composed of Bhojpuri, Hindi, and Telugu films. He has also made a few appearances in Tamil and Kannada movies.
Ravi Kishan is well-liked in both the acting and political worlds. The actor, however, reportedly had to deal with a horrible casting couch incident when he first began out in the entertainment business. He claimed that at 'late night,' a woman who is now a 'big shot' had asked him for coffee.
Ravi Kishan, nowadays, isn't simply one of the most famous faces in Bhojpuri cinema and Bollywood but is also an MP from Gorakhpur. The actor recently made the rather shocking admission that he had to avoid the evils of the casting couch, thankfully.
He recollected the incident and said, "Yeah, it happened, and this is something that happens in the industry. But I somehow managed to escape. My father had taught me that I should approach my work with honesty. I never wanted to take a shortcut. I knew I was talented."
He added, "I can't name her because she has become a big shot now. She had said, 'Coffee peene raat me aayiye (Come at night for a cup of coffee)'. I thought that is something people prefer to have during the day, so I got the hint and refused."
