Ravi Kishan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ravi Kishan 's most recent, and successful, shot to popularity was his participation in Bigg Boss, the Indian version of Bigg Brother. There, not only did he make his name known outside the Bhojpuri community in a big way, but also, almost became a household name.

He has also starred in a number of commercially successful Bhojpuri films, frequently starring opposite Nagma. He has been quoted by the BBC as saying "Bhojpuri cinema is like home-cooked food." ^[1]

He is now hosting a popular television show Bathroom Singer.

[edit] Big Boss

It is rumored that Ravi is the highest paid star on Bigg Boss, but Ravi said in one of the interviews that he is in it to de-toxicate himself, as he has been working a lot and also has some problems at personal front in recent past. So, he said, he would use his time at Bigg Boss' house to gain control of himself in more than one way.

At Bigg Boss, Ravi lived a non-bitching, non-conspiring, in-the-face life - much to the appreciation of the masses. May be that is the reason he was among the last three of the housemates, before the public crowned Rahul Roy the winner.

Again, Rahul and Ravi became good friends as housemates, and most of the people give fair bit of credit of Rahul's win to Ravi.
