Ravi Kishan may have had a short stint on Alliance, but his presence continues to be felt inside the game. Contestants have often referred to the actor-politician's advice, while viewers continue to discuss his observations about the unpredictable reality show. Speaking exclusively to mid-day, Ravi reflected on the game's ever-changing dynamics, shared why he is excited to watch Sohail Khan's journey, and offered an emotional message to youngsters struggling through difficult times.
Ravi admitted that he has been enjoying Sohail Khan's journey unfold inside the house. "I have been watching Sohail Khan very closely because I have known him since childhood. We are both from Bandra. I have seen his interviews and he is a very quiet, loner kind of person. Now that he is inside the house, I want to see how he reacts to all these commotions and all this betrayal. That is the beauty of the show."
Sending out a heartfelt message to his fans and the youth, Ravi urged them to stay patient through life's challenges. "Have patience, wait, your time will come. Be there, stay there. Don't get into drugs, don't get into alcohol, don't get into negativity, don't get into darkness, don't lock yourself. Feel nature, keep looking at the sky. One day the sun will only rise for you," he said.
The actor revealed that his own journey to success took decades and was filled with rejection and humiliation. "I kept that patience for 34 years. I could have fallen apart. I had one crore moments of being crazy, of falling apart, of losing. But no. Like Lord Shiva, I kept the poison in my throat. I didn't throw it into society. All those rejections and humiliations became my strength. I didn't become revengeful. I came back with a smile."
Calling himself someone who believes in authenticity, Ravi added, "I try to give happiness to everyone in a real way. When I put on make-up in front of the camera, then only I do it. Otherwise, I am so real. That is why I am lighter, I am organic, like the water of a river. I keep flowing every day. When I have a job, I take it seriously. The rest of the time, I just have fun in life and keep doing 'Mahadev, Mahadev.'"
Talking about Alliance, Ravi said the show's biggest strength lies in its unpredictability. "All of them Delbar, Mini, Nikhil, Kushal, Zaid are strong. Every day one strong person will come. This is the beauty of Alliance. No one can say who is going to stay longer or who is the winner. Mark my words, till the last day you can't predict who is going to win."
He further explained, "Every day the faces are changing. Every day one person is on top, one alliance is on top, and the very next day the same alliance is at the bottom, ready for delete."
For Ravi, Alliance remains one of the most unpredictable reality shows on television, where fortunes change overnight and every contestant has a genuine shot at winning.
