Against All Odds: Meet Bhojpuri Cinema’s Amitabh Bachchan – From Rs 500 in a Mumbai Chawl to Crores of Success!
From living in a chawl to owning 11 luxurious properties, Ravi Kishan’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. The actor, often hailed as the Amitabh Bachchan of Bhojpuri cinema, was born in Jaunpur and moved to Mumbai where his family faced financial struggles after his father’s dairy business failed. Despite his father’s wish for him to become an officer, Ravi pursued his passion for acting, arriving in Mumbai with just Rs 500.
Initially, Ravi Kishan lived in a cramped chawl with 12 others and took on supporting roles in Bollywood films like “Pitambar” and the TV show “Hello Inspector.” His breakthrough came with the Bhojpuri film “Saiyan Hamar,” which catapulted him to stardom. Subsequent hits such as “Banke Bihari M.L.A,” “Ganga,” and “Gabbar Singh” established him as a megastar in Bhojpuri cinema. His Bollywood credits include “Tanu Weds Manu,” “Phir Hera Pheri,” and “Tere Naam,” with recent praised performances in “Mission Raniganj” and “Lapaataa Ladies.”
Apart from acting, Ravi Kishan has built a significant political career, serving as the MP from Gorakhpur for two terms. His recent election affidavit reveals a net worth of Rs 36 crore, with a property portfolio spanning from Mumbai to Gorakhpur. These include flats in Andheri West and Pune’s Sky Viman Nagar, bungalows in Jogeshwari, and more.
On his 55th birthday, Ravi Kishan’s story stands as a testament to perseverance and ambition. Rising from humble beginnings to becoming a celebrated actor and politician, he continues to inspire many aspiring talents in the entertainment industry.
