COMING SOON: RONIT ROY ON IF RADIO

Ronit came to Bombay from Ahmedabad at the age of 19 to become a film star. He worked as a dishwasher in Hotel Sea Rock in Mumbai. Very few people know that Ronit is Director Subhash Ghai's nephew. After his father's death, Ronit joined Ghai as assistant director on films like Hero & Karma. After that his debut film Jaan Tere Naam happened which was an silver jubilee in many cities. He did many films after that but none worked. From a star he went into oblivion. During this time he & his wife separated.

Then he set up his company Ace Security and Protection' which provides security for stars. He has handled films like Lagaan. Dil Chahta Hai, Yaadein, Na Tum Jano Na Hum, Saathiya and Armaan.

Then Ekta Kapoor casted him as Rishabh Bajaj in KZK. What was initially planned as a cameo, turned out to be a full – fledged lead owing to over – whelming public response to the character. Then came the much – coveted role of Mihir Virani. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Ronit plays the lead in 2 of the most popular dailies Kyunki…Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi & Kasautii Zindagi Kay. He is also seen as the Chief Minister's son, Kunal Pratap Singh, in Sarrkkar. He essays two diametrically opposite roles of Rishabh Bajaj & Mihir Virani with equal ease, lan & conviction.

Today, he is the highest paid male actor on television. He is one of the sexiest men on telly, with fan following ranging from kids to senior citizens. He has managed to carve a niche for himself on television, which is otherwise a women' domain.

He has won the Star Parivaar Award for Best Pita twice in a row, once as Mihir Virani & once as Rishabh Bajaj. He has also won ITA's best actor award twice.
