Rohit Roy: Who says I've quit TV?
Rohit Roy
has been missing from television for a while now. So, has he quit the small screen? The actor replies, 'A lot of people think I don't want to do television shows. In fact, some close producer friends of mine were surprised when I told them I'm keen to do a good project on TV.
It just has to be something I can dig my teeth into because the medium needs a different kind of commitment — 12 hours a day for a year, and if it works, then even longer. So, I want to love the show, the character and the writing.'
Rohit, who has been part of TV shows like Swabhimaan, Kkusum and Virasat, and movies like Shootout at Lokhandwala and Kaabil, says that he wants to explore different genres, including comedy. He shares, 'Earlier, I would be offered only boy-next-door kind of roles.
Then I did Shootout at Lokhandwala and people started seeing me as this rustic, slightly dirty guy, someone who could be dangerous. Then I did Kaabil, which was also different.
But I feel there's a side that no one's tapped into and that's comedy. I did a show called Baat Ban Jaye early on; it was a comedy and did well. Unfortunately, newer filmmakers haven't seen that comic side. But I know I'm good at it.'
Earlier, talking to us about how his fitness journey began, he shares, 'I was a complete bookworm. But the moment I signed my first film, I realised that unless I went to the gym and made myself presentable, it wouldn't work. After that, very early, I realised that working out is essential. You become disciplined, you feel better, and your day starts on a high. My fitness journey started as vanity, but soon became a lifestyle for me.

Ameesha Patel Takes A Dig At Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara? Says 'Tab Organic Hit Hote The...'
Ameesha Patel stated that it is not right for people to compare "cult films" to the ones which are being released now. Looks like Ameesha Patel has taken a dig at the success of Ahaan Panday's debut movie Saiyaara. The film, which was released on July 18, has earned over Rs 270 crores at the box office as of now and is being compared to Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, which starred Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel. Recently, Ameesha Patel was snapped by the paparazzi in Mumbai when she claimed that films today do not enjoy 'organic" success. Even though the actress did not name Saiyaara, she stated that it is not right for people to compare 'cult films" to the ones which are being released now. 'It is wrong to compare cult films with the kind of films that are being made today. We used to have organic hits. Raj-Simran, Rohit-Sonia, Tara-Sakeena; people remember the names of these characters. Hits were not due to social media hype back then. Now, people are going to theatres because social media is creating a hype. PRs are working. People go to theatres but after two weeks, everything just stops," she said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by (@tellychakkar) This comes days after, during an 'Ask Me Anything' session on X (formerly Twitter), Ameesha was asked about Ahaan's comparisons to Hrithik. The actress stated that she hasn't watched Saiyaara yet and seemingly mocked Ahaan by saying 'baap toh baap hota hai". 'I haven't seen the film but I wish them luck. Ahaan as per is v promising actor .. but baap tho baap hai and beta tho beta hi hoga. Dugu is a WAR ahead from most of the stars … 🤣," she wrote. Meanwhile, talking about Saiyaara, the film revolves around Krish Kapoor, an aspiring singer, and Vaani Batra, a budding journalist. As their love blossoms, they find themselves up against numerous odds. Set to a soundtrack that's already winning hearts, the film blends romance, ambition, and emotional drama. The film has been getting an overwhelming response. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
