Adotrip Exclusive: Actor Ronit Roy Reveals His Staying Connected to the Roots

Starting his career with Jaan Tere Naam, Ronit Bose Roy aka Ronit Roy has come a long way in his career of over 20 years. The actor has done several films and has starred in many popular TV shows as well, but he still is very grounded and connected to his roots.

In an exclusive interview with Adotrip, he was asked as to what keeps him connected to his roots? To this, this is what Roy had to say.

“Staying grounded and connected to roots is very important for every individual as roots hold us up and without them, we can never grow. Understanding our heritage, roots, and ancestry is an integral part of our being that helps us in carving our future. I learned from my parents to give my best to everything and I added a ‘little extra’ due to my understanding of work ethics. This concoction works wonders as the person who has employed me is happy and it adds to my personal growth. Principles of life are like your roots, your foundation, and staying connected to it is very important when you reach a certain level.”

Before making it big in the dream city of Mumbai, Ronit lived in a couple of beautiful cities. While in Nagpur he was born, he spent his younger days in Ahmedabad. Speaking about the same, he said, “I was born in Nagpur but I was quite young when we moved to Mumbai therefore have faded memories of Nagpur. All I remember about Nagpur is the simple life in big bungalows. Whereas Mumbai is just a contrast, lavish life in cramped apartments. My formative years were in Ahmedabad as my father had set up a new business and we shifted there permanently. Ahmedabad is pretty moderate, neither too simple nor too lavish. After completing my diploma from Baroda, I moved to Mumbai to become an actor. I feel that Mumbai is one place in India that embraces you just as you embrace the city. It gives you more in return. It is rightly called the city of dreams as many dreams are realized here.”

Further in the interview, the actor also revealed his top 3 travel essentials which are – his phone, credit cards as well as sneakers. When asked about his favourite Indian dish, Ronit named Chhole Bhature, a dish that is loved and relished by many in India.

For the unversed, Ronit Roy is a very popular TV and Bollywood actor. While he left a mark on our hearts with TV shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar; with films like Udaan, Student of the Year, 2 States, and Kaabil, he proved his mettle and showcased his acting prowess like a boss.
