My father did not like me acting - Ravi Kishan
“My father did not like me acting, but my mother has
always supported me and whatever fame I have got till date, all the credit goes
to her,” reveals Ravi Kishan on Swarna Swar Bharat
Zee TV’s first-of-its-kind, devotional singing reality
show - Swarna Swar Bharat started off on a positive note and has gone on to
entertain the audience. A humble contribution to the Honorable Prime Minister's
noble initiative of 'Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav - the 75th anniversary of Indian
Independence,' the show endeavours to celebrate our rich cultural heritage like
never before. In fact, viewers have been having a gala time as the singing
reality show takes them back to their roots through a unique blend of
insightful and relatable stories narrated through some wonderful verses and
soulful devotional music.
While
all the contestants have mesmerized the judges and the audience with their
extraordinary and soulful performances, this weekend during the Swarna Swar
Bharat Navrati special episode, contestant Atharv will steal everyone's heart
as he sings Main Balak Tu Mata
Sherawaliye. During the shoot, he left everyone so spellbound by his act that
everybody went down memory lane, remembered their childhood and got nostalgic.
In fact, host Ravi Kishan was so moved by Atharv's performance that he opened
up about the days of his struggle and how his father was not initially
supportive of him taking up acting. He went on to mention how his mother always
supported him and helped him achieve his dreams.
As Ravi Kishan mentioned, “Not a lot of people know, but I have struggled for
many years and played a lot of roles in my career before I achieved some level
of success. While I come from a village which is located near Banaras, and my
father was a priest, I always wanted to become an actor since my childhood. In
fact, I even took up the role of Sita in a Ramlila for pursuing my passion,
however, my father did not like me
acting. On the other hand, my mother always supported me. She wanted me to
fulfill my dream and pursue my passion for acting. That’s why, one fine day, my
mother handed me 500 rupees and with that money, I fled to Mumbai to follow my
passion. Till date, even during the middle of elections when I am traveling, I
call my mother to understand the situation on the ground. She's very smart and
clever and has been my support system all my life. Whatever fame I have got
till date, all the credit goes to my mother.”
While Atharv's performance and Ravi Kishan’s
revelations will surely surprise everyone, wait till you see the beautiful
performances by all the talented contestants on the show during the auspicious
days of Navratri.
