Internet Sensation Ravi Kishan: His Wife’s Humorous “Lock-Up” Proposal and a Trip Down Memory Lane to Bigg Boss
New Delhi, India – Actor-politician Ravi Kishan, a name synonymous with vibrant performances and candid humor, has recently become an unexpected internet phenomenon. Viral clips showcasing his dynamic stage presence, distinctive singing acts, and refreshingly outspoken interview responses have catapulted him into a new realm of online stardom. However, this widespread digital fame has apparently sparked a unique reaction within his family, particularly from his wife, Preeti Shukla, who has humorously suggested a rather unconventional solution to his virality.
In a recent appearance on News18 India, Kishan light-heartedly shared his wife’s playful concern. “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,” he revealed, translating to, “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, if he won’t go out, and he won’t go viral.’” This anecdote offers a charming glimpse into the personal life of the often-intense public figure, highlighting the everyday humor that coexists with his professional success.
Ravi Kishan and Preeti Shukla have shared a marital journey spanning over three decades, having tied the knot in 1993. Together, they are parents to four children: daughters Riva, Ishita, and Tanishka, and a son, Saksham, forming a close-knit family unit that clearly maintains a lighthearted dynamic despite the pressures of public life.
This isn’t the first time Preeti Shukla has reportedly taken decisive action to “lock up” her husband, albeit in a different context. In an interview last year with Camera7, Kishan recounted an earlier period in his career where his success, coupled with an overwhelming workload, led to a degree of arrogance. “That’s when my wife took me to Bigg Boss and locked me up there,” he confessed. He described a time when he was simultaneously working on an astonishing 17 films, sleeping primarily in his car while traveling between sets, and even shooting for five films within the same studio.
Kishan reflected on this intense phase, explaining, “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.” Recognizing this shift, his wife’s intervention led him to the popular reality show Bigg Boss for a three-month stint. He credits this period of isolation and public scrutiny with a significant personal transformation. “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 shared, emphasizing the profound impact of the experience.
Upon his exit from Bigg Boss, Kishan described himself as a “sorted person.” This personal evolution not only led to renewed offers from the Bollywood industry but also paved the way for his eventual foray into politics, demonstrating the show’s unexpected role in shaping his future trajectory.
Most recently, Ravi Kishan was seen on the big screen in ‘Dhamaal 4,’ where he portrayed the character of Adhoora. He shared screen space with an ensemble cast of industry stalwarts including Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, and Riteish Deshmukh. While his film career continues, it’s his candid and humorous insights into his personal life, particularly his wife’s witty observations about his internet fame, that are currently captivating audiences and adding another layer to the multi-faceted persona of Ravi Kishan.
