When Ravi Kishan opened up about receiving death threats
On October 31, 2025, Ravi took to his X handle (formerly Twitter) and shared a lengthy note. He shared that he received death threats, and abusive language was also used over the phone. The miscreants also targeted the actor-politician’s mother. Later, he mentioned that he doesn’t have any fear or will not bow to such threats. An excerpt from his note can be read as:
“I was recently subjected to abusive language over the phone, with indecent remarks made even about my mother. I was threatened with death, and offensive words were uttered against Lord Shri Ram. This is not only a direct assault on my personal dignity but also on the core elements of our faith and Indian culture. I want to say clearly that I neither fear these threats nor will I bow to them.”
In the note, Ravi highlighted that serving the nation and upholding dharma are not, to him, mere political strategies, but personal life commitments. He expressed that he will stay true to this path of public service, nationalism, and faith, even if it becomes difficult and costs him his life. He also explained what this struggle means to him. He wrote:
“Walking the path of public service, nationalism, and dharma is not some political strategy for me-it is a resolve of life itself. I will remain steadfast on this path in every circumstance, no matter what price I may have to pay. This path is arduous, but it is in this that I see my life as meaningful. For me, this struggle is a symbol of safeguarding self-respect, faith, and duty, and I will remain resolute and devoted until the very end.”
