Ronit Roy, who is called the Amitabh Bachchan of the small screen, has worked in many films. Ronit is also known for shows like Kasauti Zindagi Ki, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Bandini. Apart from this, he has also appeared in Lakshya, Hulchul, Three States, Ugly and Student of the Year.
But this journey was not so easy for the actor. He had to work very hard to establish himself in the entertainment industry. Recently, in an interview, the actor remembered his days when he did not have money to eat. The actor talked about the personal and professional challenges he faced in the 1990s.
The actor had isolated himself
Before his debut in the film Jaan Tere Naam in 1992, it had become difficult for the actor to even arrange for everyday things. Jaan Tere Naam was directed by Deepak Balraj Veer. Ronit revealed that he often felt disconnected from the industry as he often isolated himself from others. “To be honest, I don’t know why my career didn’t work out in the early days. Earlier, I used to think about it a lot, but now I don’t. I stay in my own zone, and I think it was also because I stopped approaching people for work, and therefore, they stopped giving me opportunities,” he said.
There was no money even to eat
The actor also recalled memories of that time which are still fresh in his mind. He spoke about a small dhaba near Mumbai’s Bandra station, where he used to eat regularly. Due to financial constraints, he was able to eat only once a day, often eating two rotis with black lentils and palak paneer. Ronit said, “One day, I just asked him for roti and onions because I had no money. He gave me two rotis and some daal. I told him that I had not asked for daal, so he said that it is okay from my side, today is your daal day.”
He got this much money for his first film
The actor said that he got 50 thousand rupees for his first film which came in installments of 4 thousand each. His Bollywood career was a flop but he earned both wealth and fame through television shows. Today he has a security agency in which he provides security to celebs like Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan.
