Ravi Kishan Reveals REAL Reason He Touches His Wife Feet Every Night: 'My Son Knows That...'

Last Updated: Ravi Kishan opened up on The Great Indian Kapil Show about why he touches his wife Priti's feet at night. Ravi Kishan doesn't shy away from wearing his heart on his sleeve – especially when it comes to his wife, Priti Shukla. The actor recently appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show with the Son of Sardaar 2 team, including Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur, where a conversation took a personal turn, revealing a side of him that had the audience both smiling and surprised. During the episode, host Kapil Sharma brought up something quite specific – a habit Ravi has of touching his wife's feet every night. That's when Ravi opened up, not just about the habit, but the reason behind it. 'I do it, but she never let me do that, but whenever she is sleeping…" he began, to some curious laughter from the crowd. Explaining where the gesture came from, he added, 'She was by my side when I had neither money nor means. She held on through all ups and downs. Whatever success I have today, it's because she never left my side. My son is sitting in front of me, he knows that the way she managed me, touching her feet is the least I can do." The moment turned into light-hearted banter when Ajay Devgn, who was seated next to him, saw a chance to poke some fun. Without missing a beat, Ajay joked, 'The guiltier a man is, the more he will bend to touch his wife's feet." That one-liner had everyone, including Ravi and the rest of the cast, in splits. This isn't the first time Ravi Kishan has spoken openly about the bond he shares with his wife. During last year's Karwa Chauth, he had taken to Instagram to call Priti his 'support system." In the heartfelt post, he had written, 'Preeti is the support system for our family. She has always stayed beside me through thick and thin. I cannot thank her enough for making my life the way it is. Karva Chauth is a very special festival for both of us. On this day, I make sure I am with her at least during the puja ceremony. This helps strengthen our bond." First Published: July 21, 2025, 12:20 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

'Shilpa Shirodkar Shot Dead, Had 25 Missed Calls': Actor Recalls Raghuveer Shoot

Last Updated: Shilpa Shirodkar recalls the confusion during Raghuveer shoot. Shilpa mentions that rumours about her death were spread to promote the film. Shilpa Shirodkar was once rumoured to have died during the shoot of Raghuveer. The 1995 film starred Suniel Shetty as the titular hero, alongside Shilpa Shirodkar, Suresh Oberoi, Sudha Chandran, Mohnish Bahl, Aruna Irani, Gulshan Grover, and Prem Chopra. During the film's shoot, a rumour was circulated that Shilpa had been shot dead. This created panic at the actress's house. However, she was later told by the makers that it was a promotional activity for the film. In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Shilpa Shirodkar recalled the misunderstanding. 'I was in Kullu Manali. My dad was trying to call the hotel because we didn't have mobile phones at that time. I was shooting with Suniel Shetty there. Everyone who was watching the shoot there kept thinking if this is Shilpa or someone else because they knew the news," she said. Shilpa added, 'When I came back to the room, there were around 20-25 missed calls. My parents were worried, there was a headline in a newspaper that Shilpa Shirodkar was shot dead." However, the film's producer later told her that it was a promotional strategy. 'When he told me, I was like 'Okay'. Yes, thoda zyada hogaya. There was no PR activity or anything at that time. Kuch pata hi nahi tha na. I was the last one to know that something like this was going to happen. No one used to take permission at that time. The film worked well, so I wasn't really angry," the actor shared. Meanwhile, Shilpa Shirodkar will next be seen in Jatadhara, a highly anticipated pan‑India supernatural thriller that marks her return to the silver screen after several years away. Jatadhara is a supernatural mystery thriller centred around the enigmatic Anantha Padmanabha Swamy Temple and its hidden mystical lore. It blends suspense, intrigue, and mythological elements into an atmospheric narrative. Sudheer Babu headlines the film, undergoing intense physical training for the role. Sonakshi Sinha debuts in a Telugu-Hindi bilingual project and shares the screen with Shilpa for the first time. Shilpa Shirodkar plays a key role, marking her comeback following her stint on Bigg Boss 18. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
