Ravi Kishan attracted controversy in 2019 when a Kushinagar-based youth activist named Santosh Kumar pin-pointed the disparity found in Ravi's educational qualification mentioned by him in his electoral affidavit in 2019 and 2014 and filed a complaint against him to the returning officer. According to Santosh, Ravi was a commerce graduate (B.Com) according to his 2014 affidavit; however, in his 2019 affidavit, Ravi had mentioned that he was 12th pass. In an interview, Santosh Kumar said,

"If Ravi Kishan was a commerce graduate in 2014, how did his educational qualifications come down to intermediate in 2019."

Thereafter, the then Rashtriya Mazdoor Congress' general secretary Santosh Mani Tripathi pointed out that Ravi had not written his name in the affidavit clearly and had not signed the affidavit.

Relationships & MoreMarital StatusMarriedAffairs/GirlfriendsAccording to Ravi Kishan, he was dating Nagma, an actor-turned-politician, and asserted that his wife, Preeti Shukla, was acutely aware of his extra-marital affair and was fine with it. However, in April 2023, when Rajat Sharma asked him questions about his relationship with Nagma, Ravi rejected the claims and said,

"When actors work with the same actress on multiple projects, people assume something is brewing. However, this was not the case. We used to do films together and our films used to be blockbusters. We were friends and had a cordial relationship. Moreover, everyone knew that I was married."
