Actor Ravi Kishan is a popular actor turned politician. With the film Race Gurram, he gained immense popularity in Telugu. Now, his daughter Ishita Shukla has chosen to join the Defence Forces through the Agneepath scheme, an army recruiting program for Indian citizens.
Ishita, at age 21, is a cadet of the ‘7 Girl Battalion’ of the Delhi Directorate. Netizens have praised Ishita for choosing a different career path despite being a ‘star kid.’ Ravi Kishan has three other children: Riva, Tanishk, and Saksham.
After tasting success in the film industry, Ravi Kishan ventured into politics as a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and represented the Gorakhpur constituency in Uttar Pradesh.
Under the Agneepath scheme, youth can serve in the armed forces for four years in the Army, Navy, or Air Force.
The netizens are praising Ravi Kishan for encouraging his daughter to be a part of a central government scheme, unlike the trend where schemes do not apply to the politicians.
