A Throwback Family Photo Full Of Memories

Father Daughter Duo Recently Seen Together On Reality Show Alliance
Ravi Kishan was recently seen alongside Riva on the reality game show Alliance, hosted by Kunal Kemmu. The actor appeared on the show for only a week, but he left an impression on the contestants by opening up about his nearly four decade long journey in the entertainment industry.
Mocked And Ignored During The 1990s
While interacting with contestants on the show, Ravi Kishan recalled his difficult days, his struggles and a journey that demanded immense patience. He said actors who became stars in the 1990s often mocked him and ignored him. "There have been many people in my life who used to make fun of me. They were becoming stars in the 90s and I could see them moving ahead," he said. He added, "I had a good voice. I knew horse riding, acting, Urdu, Hindi, everything. I had done theatre and had also learnt dance. I was completely prepared. Despite that, I was left behind while everyone else moved ahead. I kept telling myself that if their time has come, mine will come too. But I never knew my time would come 34 years later."
Success Finally Arrived After 34 Years
Ravi Kishan went on to reveal that his patience eventually paid off. "That year, I won every best actor award there was. I stood on stages I was never invited to before. People never used to invite me. Everyone used to mock me. Nobody believed I could do anything, but today I am here," he said. His journey of patience, determination and dedication left the contestants on Alliance deeply inspired.
