It is not that being a child of a star family, one has to choose the world of lucrative entertainment as a career. An example of this is Ishita Shukla, daughter of Ravi Kisan. While the father is a well-known face in Bollywood, the daughter has chosen a completely different path. He wanted to join the army since childhood. With the aim of fulfilling that dream, Ishita has made preparations for everything from NCC military training to the Republic Day parade.

Dream of joining army since childhood

For Ishita, the desire to work for the country became more important than the identity of the star family. It is known that he had prepared for a long time with the aim of joining the army. Apart from undergoing military training by joining NCC, Ishita also prepared herself for discipline, physical stamina and adaptability to various military activities.

Important training in NCC

Ishita was associated with 7 Girls Battalion NCC of Delhi Directorate. He also took training to participate in the Republic Day Parade. Baba Ravi Kishan had publicly shared many pictures and updates of his training. The actor has repeatedly expressed pride in his daughter’s hard work and interest in joining the army.

News of joining Agneepath project

In June 2023, news came that Ishita Shukla was going to join the defense forces as a female Agniveer under the Agneepath project. According to reports, Ravi Kishan also confirmed this news.

‘My daughter is a sniper shooter’

In an interview on Women’s Day 2025, Ravi Kishan had expressed pride in his daughter’s decision. At that time he had told that his daughter was joining the army and had also described her as a sniper shooter. After this comment of her father, Ishita’s decision to join military training and serve the country was reiterated again.

Who is doing what in Ravi Kisan’s family?

Ravi Kishan and his wife Preeti Shukla have four children – a son and three daughters. Out of these, Ishita has chosen the military field. Whereas his sister Riva Kishan has chosen the entertainment world as her career. Reeva made her acting debut in 2020 with the film ‘Sab Kushal Mangal’. Later he was also seen in various works in the entertainment world. That means, the career paths of two daughters of the same family are completely different – one in the world of acting, the other in the field of national defense.

Being a star kid is another inspiration

The biggest aspect of Ishita’s decision is that despite having connections with the star family, she did not choose the path of traditional glamour. With the aim of serving the country, he has chosen the difficult path of military training as his future. His decision has been appreciated by many well-known personalities from the entertainment world. Actor Anupam Kher called Ishita an inspiration for millions of girls. Actor R. Madhavan also praised his bold decision.
