Zoom, Ravi Kishan reflected on the rejection and humiliation he faced from several successful actors in the 90s. The actor-politician also opened up about how he overcame those setbacks and carved a successful place for himself in the industry.Ravi said, "This is a lesson for all my juniors and the younger generation. The youth, especially Gen Z, give me a lot of love. India is a vast country with 1.4 billion people, and nearly 65% of them are young. Many of them are searching for hope and direction in life. Some break down after failure, some turn to alcohol. They should look at my journey. I am living proof that you can survive and keep going despite every setback."

Reflecting on how criticism and rejection fuelled his journey instead of breaking his spirit,
Ravi Kishan said, "People used to tell me, 'You're doing Bhojpuri films, your career is over.' They never imagined that one day I would build my own industry, create my own opportunities and become a superstar on my own."He also said, "Some people don't get a godfather in life. They have to become their own godfather. That was my life's challenge—to become my own godfather. There was a time when I was just a filler. Today, people are writing my entire story. That's nature's answer."Meanwhile, Ravi Kishan was recently seen in Netflix film
