Ravi Kishan’s daughter joins defense forces

Ravi Kishan’s 21-year-old daughter has joined the defense forces. It was announced by the central government in June last year to bring changes in the recruitment process of the armed forces. The central government’s Agneepath scheme aims to enroll such youth who will be called ‘Agniveers’ for a service period of four years. Twitter users congratulated Ravi Kishan and appreciated Ishita for choosing a different career despite being the daughter of a celebrity.

Despite being a prominent name in Bhojpuri cinema, the actor’s other children, Riva, Tanishk and Saksham, are pursuing diverse career paths. Riva, inspired by her father’s acting ability, aspires to follow in his footsteps and establish a career in the entertainment industry.
