Ravi Kishan: Makeup Dreams Led to Oscars

Actor and politician Ravi Kishan recently reflected on his remarkable 43-year career journey on the "Indian Idol" show. He disclosed that during his initial struggling years, his sole aspiration was the opportunity to apply makeup, rather than acquiring material possessions like a house or car. There were periods when work was scarce, leading him to keep a makeup box in his car. He would spend months just smelling the box, crying and praying for a chance to use it, a testament to his profound dedication.

Kishan emphasized that this intense passion and obsession ultimately propelled his career forward. He noted that this very drive was instrumental in his film "Laapataa Ladies" reaching the Oscars. The same dedication allowed him to win Best Actor awards in his initial year. He shared this story to encourage aspiring artists, urging them to persevere, as success will eventually come their way.
