Ravi Kishan reveals he played the part of Sita in plays: ‘I would take my mother’s saree…’

He would hit me with a leather belt.” When asked about how he reached Mumbai and became a huge star, the actor said, “My father caught me in Sita’s avatar one day. He hit me so much that I felt that I would die. That time, my mother gave me Rs 500 and said to run away. I ran to save my life.”
