Ravi Mohan's girlfriend Kenishaa Francis addresses pregnancy rumours
Kenishaa discussed the multiple comments and rumours about her that have surfaced since she was linked to Ravi. One was when a still of her was mistaken to be a post about her rumoured pregnancy, which she posted with a note about 'hope'.
Clarifying that it's a still from her song, Andrum Indrum, and what people mistook for a stomach is actually her arms, she said, 'Many people are saying that I am pregnant. I don't have a six-pack, but I am not pregnant. Do I need permission to cross my arms now?'

Kenishaa also said that she's grateful for those who are mature. Addressing naysayers, she said, "I am not an angel, but I promise you, I'm not the devil either. It's like a rabbit hole where one gossip leads to another. There's time to address it and I could, but I choose not to.'
Kenishaa made news when she was dragged into Ravi and Aarti's divorce, but she claimed that the actor was just a friend and a client, as she's a spiritual healer. The two attended a high-profile wedding in Chennai in May and twinned in gold outfits. Later, they also attended the wedding reception together. Most recently, they made headlines again after visiting the Kundrakudi Temple. Pictures of the two with garlands around their necks in traditional outfits surfaced online.
Ravi confirmed rumours in September last year and announced that he was separated from his wife, Aarti Ravi. The couple got married in 2009 and have two sons together. Aarti claimed to have been blindsided by his public announcement. When Kenishaa's name was brought up, she clarified that she was Ravi's friend and healer. In May, Ravi and Aarti went back and forth on social media after his public appearance with Kenishaa.

When Ravi Kishan admitted stealing money from Temple and father's shop
Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan, active in Bollywood, once confessed that he stole coins from a temple and money from his father's shop. His father, a priest, punished him harshly, shaping Kishan's strength. He will next appear in 'Son of Sardaar 2'. Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan launched his acting journey with a Hindi film and remains active in Bollywood today. Meanwhile, an old interview of Ravi has resurfaced on the internet, where he candidly confessed that during his childhood, he resorted to stealing in temples. Open Confession A few years ago, Ravi appeared on the television show Aap Ki Adalat, where he discussed a variety of topics openly and honestly. During the interview, when host Rajat Sharma asked him about rumors that he had stolen money from a temple and from his father's pocket, he admitted to it without hesitation, speaking candidly about the circumstances and not hiding anything. The Story Behind the Theft When Kishan was asked about stealing money from the temple and his father's shop, he explained that his father was a priest who also ran a milk shop. He said, 'Every Saturday, people used to stick coins on Hanuman ji's forehead, and I felt Hanuman ji was in trouble. So, when I went around, I took 10 paise, 5 paise, or 20 paise. I also took money from the shop. It was wrong, but I felt it was mine.' When his father found out, Kishan said he was beaten badly with a leather strap, and those punishments made him strong. Upcoming Film: 'Son of Sardaar 2' On the work front, Ravi will be next seen in the film 'Son of Sardaar 2'. It is an action comedy film directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and produced by Ajay Devgn , Jyoti Deshpande, N R Pachisia and Pravin Talreja. It is a spiritual sequel to the 2012 film 'Son of Sardaar'.

Ravi Kishan's mother was sure his father would kill him, asked him to run away from home: ‘He would beat me everyday… I didn't cry when he died'
Ravi Kishan is a renowned actor and politician today. His acting in Laapataa Ladies and Maamla Legal Hai proved he was more than just a regional star. But to achieve this, he struggled for 33 years. And before that, he lived a traumatic childhood where his father Shyam Narayan Shukla would beat him up almost every day. So much so that one day his mother asked him to run away and handed him Rs 500. 'He will kill you,' the actor recalled. In a recent podcast with Raj Shamani, Ravi Kishan opened up about his terrifying childhood. 'I was trying to prove to my father that I was worth loving,' shared Ravi Kishan. Recalling his relationship with his father, the actor shared, 'He would often think I was nalayak (useless), and I wanted to prove that I wasn't. He was a priest. Intelligent. He was a proud Brahmin.' 'I once asked him, why do you pray so much? At the end of the day, you are still wearing a torn piece of cloth and have a broken cycle.' This made him angry and he hit me very hard. Ravi then shared it was an everyday affair. 'He would beat me up every day.' He called it fun. He explained, 'Because my dad never spoke to me or pampered me, I would feel him hitting me is the closest to loving me and communicating.' Ravi's dad was very possessive about his image and was dead against Ravi Kishan's love for acting. 'I used to take part in plays in the village. I played the role of Goddess Sita and often wore my mother's saree. This gave him a fit (of anger). He went crazy. He told me, 'Have you gone crazy, do you want to become a nachaniya (a degrading word for artistes).' He wanted me to do farming and sell milk.' His dad's aggression once pushed him to leave the house. 'One day my dad hit me so hard that I had to run away. That day, my mom gave me Rs 500 and said, 'Please go, otherwise he will kill you today.'' After leaving his house, Ravi Kishan tried his luck in Bollywood, but it wasn't fruitful. He would often land small roles and producers always denied him money. They would threaten to cut his screen time if he demanded fees. He had to choose between money and work. After struggling for 10 years in the Hindi film industry, he entered the Bhojpuri industry, which shot him to regional fame (mostly UP and Bihar). It was only after this that his father began to respect him. 'My dad started to respect me after I started to earn a lot of money… when I started giving him air tickets to visit me. After I gave him best of clothes, a good car, and a bungalow. One day he started crying and said, 'Please forgive me. I always misunderstood you.' I fell on his feet and said, 'Please, don't do this.' I saw God in him.'

'I just longed for his love. All I wanted was him to hug me once and not think that I am useless. It was only when he grew old, I could be clingy with him. My fear reduced because he was weak. It was a high when I put my arms across his shoulder. With age, he become my child and I became his father.' During this time, the actor gained the courage to question his father: 'Why did you hit me so much?' His dad replied, 'I thought you would do something wrong.' The actor shared, 'He mostly beat me fearing I might do something wrong. He would randomly smell my mouth and assume I have had alcohol. But, it never was the case. This culture didn't exist then. But he would always assume, 'What if you did'. Mujhe maar padti thi ki 'nalayak hojate toh?' He would always beat me in advance thinking I might end up doing something wrong.' When success followed Ravi Kishan, his dad craved his presence. 'He would often cry and remember me and ask my mother to make him talk to me.' While Ravi made peace with his dad's 'way of love', he still wishes he wasn't physically abusive. 'I would never teach my kids to physically abuse someone. I still think he could have communicated better than simply hitting me. But, I guess it was lack of awareness. One should never hit their children. One must talk. That's the approach I take towards my kids.' In the same interview, Ravi Kishan shared that he didn't cry after his dad's passing. 'I was with him during his last days. When I realised he doesn't have too much time left, I flew him to Banaras in private jet. He died there. I never cried. I still cannot feel it. It will take me days to get over it and I don't know when those feelings will come out. I miss him in every breath.'
