Ravi Kishan worked with Shah Rukh Khan in the Sridevi-starrer Army, and in a recent interview, he mentioned that they are “old friends.” While Ravi and Shah Rukh have not worked together in many years, he was recently asked for his take on the controversy that had erupted around Pathaan’s ‘Besharam Rang’.Ravi Kishan has his own history of participating in songs with suggestive lyrics.
Ravi insisted that “cinema should function like cinema” and “songs should not be vulgar.” He told Jist, “Sometimes you don’t think about it, but as you get older, you should realise… A few films that I did of such nature… that song ‘Lehenga utha ke’… You realise that the producer has made such songs. Sometimes you would land up on set and the song would start playing and by the time you realise it, it’s late, because you are there on the set already.”
Ravi said that he was a busy actor during those days and did not have time to examine to scripts or songs before he landed on set. “I didn’t have much time to listen to the songs. So many times, I wouldn’t even read the script and I would go through it on set because I was working three shifts a day. And I didn’t have the time,” he said. He recalled that he has previously apologised for performing on such songs, in an appearance on the television show Aap Ki Adalat.

When the interviewer pointed out that many television shows still play such songs when they welcome Ravi, he said that he has requested them to stop, but he has also realised that people are always looking to stay relevant by creating controversies. He mentioned that television shows want a boost for their TRPs and marketing agencies push these things for controversies.
Ravi Kishan was recently seen in Akshay Kumar-starrer Mission Raniganj.
