Mumbai: Celebrating his birthday on October 11, actor Ronit Roy reflects on his journey from struggles to success in the entertainment industry. Raised in Ahmedabad, Ronit initially pursued a course in hotel management before realizing his true passion for acting. However, breaking into the film industry proved to be challenging, with even veteran Subhash Ghai warning him of the difficulties.
Undeterred by the obstacles, Ronit persevered and landed a trainee position at Sea Rock Hotel in Mumbai, where he performed various tasks ranging from dishwashing to bartending. After facing numerous rejections, he finally received a breakthrough role as the lead in the 1992 film Jaan Tere Naam. Despite the movie’s moderate success, Ronit’s career failed to take off immediately.
Ronit turned his attention to television and made his small screen debut with the serial Kammal. It was his collaboration with acclaimed producer Ekta Kapoor that truly propelled his career forward. Ekta offered Ronit the lead role in the popular serial Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi as Mihir Virani, which brought him immense recognition and popularity.
Aside from his acting pursuits, Ronit is also an accomplished businessman. He runs his own company called Ace Security and Protection Agency. In the television industry, he has become one of the highest-paid actors, particularly known for his role as ‘KD Pathak’ in a court show.
Delving into Ronit’s personal life, he was previously married to Joanna with whom he shares a daughter named Ona. However, their relationship eventually ended, and on December 25, 2003, Ronit tied the knot with actress and model Neelam Singh. They have two children together, a daughter named Aador, born in May 2005, and a son named Agastya.
Ronit Roy’s journey from struggling actor to successful television personality and businessman serves as an inspiration to many aspiring artists. With his talent and determination, he has carved a niche for himself in the entertainment industry. As he celebrates his birthday, fans and well-wishers can’t help but admire his perseverance and applaud his accomplishments.
