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.

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’.
