Responding to this, Ravi Kishan affirmed, "Yes, my wife actively campaigns for me during elections and helps secure a substantial 100,000 to 150,000 votes. I touch her feet." To this, Jagdambika Pal asked, "So, you do touch her feet?" Ravi Kishan replied, "My wife doesn't actually let me touch her feet. However, whenever she is fast asleep, I take that opportunity to touch her feet."Ravi Kishan further added, "My wife has stood by me unreservedly during my darkest times. Even when I was navigating a difficult phase in my film career, she remained steadfastly by my side. Given all this, why wouldn't I touch her feet?"
