The Story in Brief
BJP MP and actor Ravi Kishan has become the latest internet meme sensation after a devotional song he sang at a political rally in West Bengal resurfaced online. Known for his high-energy persona, Kishan told News18 that his behaviour is not calculated: 'I am not planning anything. Words just pour out.' He credited his diverse influences, from Al Pacino to Amitabh Bachchan to Michael Jackson, for his unique style.
Kishan has expressed gratitude to Gen Z for turning him into a social media favourite. He told Hindustan Times that fans now call him 'Lord Ravi' and 'today's Osho'. His recent work includes Netflix series 'Maamla Legal Hai' and films like 'Laapataa Ladies' and 'Dhamaal 4'.
The Indian Opinion
Ravi Kishan's viral moment is being framed as yet another internet accident, but it reveals something real. A politician-actor who sings bhajans, quotes Osho, and calls Gen Z 'Shiv bhakts' is connecting across age groups without a PR script. Instead of asking whether his videos are staged, the press should ask why the same generation that mocks politicians also elevates Kishan. The test will come if this attention survives the next election cycle without a campaign team behind it.
