Ravi Kishan salutes Gen Z after viral meme wave
Ravi Kishan is a famous actor and politician in India.
Young people on the internet, called Gen Z, started sharing funny videos of things he said.
Some of his funny phrases, like 'Money Follows My Brotha' and 'Jaldi The Late,' became popular memes.
Many people made jokes about him online, and he went quiet for a few days, taking a vow of silence.
When he came back, he thanked the young people for making him famous.
He said they are very creative and that Parliament is the right place for them.
He also said that the Prime Minister of India listens to Gen Z. Funny videos of him were even shared by big football clubs in Europe.
He said he is just a human being who makes mistakes like everyone else.
He hopes people remember that he was unknown before Gen Z gave him fame.
Ravi Kishan thanked Gen Z in a media briefing, saying the generation gave him 'name and fame' and praising their creativity.
He said Parliament is the place for the younger generation and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi listens to Gen Z.
He had been heavily trolled for viral moments including 'Money Follows My Brotha,' 'Peeshan,' 'Home From Work,' 'Jaldi The Late,' and 'NEET Akhbaar.'
He recently ended a 'vow of silence' taken amid the online trolling, and two months ago said he does not understand why he keeps going viral.
International football clubs Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, and Liverpool shared videos featuring clips of Ravi Kishan and his voice.
