6 Ronit Roy
Ronit Roy was born in Nagpur and brought up in Ahmadabad, where his father owned a small factory. Subhash Ghai was his father’s best friend also happens to be the person who inspired Ronit Roy. It was the stars sitting in their expensive cars, with girls yelling for them that made it clear to him that this is what he wanted.
Not many people know this, but Ronit Roy first appeared on the big screen, contrary to other actors listed here. All seven movies that he featured in turned out to be flops. He eventually paved his way through soaps on Indian TV and it worked! At the time that he wanted to enter the film industry, it used to take about 2 years to make a film and he realized that it would take him roughly about 12 years to become a director from a sixth assistant.
Ronit Roy is glorified as the Amitabh Bachchan of 70 mm screen and for good reason. He is best known for his character in Kasautii Zindagi Kay as Rishabh Bajaj and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi as Mihir Virani. Since then, he has shuffled seamlessly between the small screen and the big screen. His personality on screen is accentuated by his off-screen personality.
Where he looks to play complex personalities on screen, it is his personal life that has fuelled this image. Whatever role he has taken, it has been worth noting including portraying a complicated relationship with his son and wife in 2 states and a dark politician in his most recent film, Kaabil, which performed really well at the box office, also receiving critical acclaim for his performance.
Other than his acting profession, Ronit also runs a security business that offers security services for Bollywood biggies and production companies.
His personal life has been hugely discussed by media and fans alike. Ronit was earlier hitched to Neelam Singh, with whom he has a daughter named Ona. His second marriage blessed him with another daughter (Aador) and a son (Agasthya).
Ronit earns Rs.1.25 lakhs per episode and works only 15 days a month.
