The
lockdown
due
to
the
Coronavirus
pandemic
in
India
has
caused
enormous
strain
on
struggling
actors.
This,
and
mental
health
issues
amid
lockdown,
has
unfortunately
resulted
in
a
few
actors
taking
their
own
lives.
Actor
Ronit
Roy,
who
shared
that
he
was
jobless
for
four
years,
without
money
to
buy
food,
said
that
he
wasn't
passing
any
judgments,
but
it
isn't
a
solution
to
take
one's
life.
Ronit
opened
up
about
the
struggles
he
faced
during
the
early
years
of
his
career.
Speaking
to
ETimes
in
an
interview,
Ronit
said,
"My
first
film
was
released
in
1992
-
Jaan
Tere
Naam,
which
was
a
blockbuster.
It
was
a
silver
jubilee
and
silver
jubilee
of
that
day
means
Rs
100
crore
movie
of
today.
My
debut
film
was
of
that
level.
1992
it
released
and
for
the
next
six
months,
I
did
not
receive
a
single
call.
Then
I
got
all
kinds
of
trashy
work,
which
I
did
for
three
years
and
around
'96
all
the
work
dried
up."
He
continued,
"For
four
years
I
was
sitting
at
home.
I
had
a
small
car,
but
I
had
no
money
for
petrol.
I
would
walk
up
to
my
mother's
house
for
a
meal,
as
I
did
not
have
money
even
after
being
in
a
silver
jubilee
film.
I
did
not
kill
myself.
I
am
not
passing
judgement
on
anybody.
Everyone
at
some
point
in
their
life
faces
a
financial
crisis.
I
feel
if
you
are
facing
a
financial
crisis,
then
killing
yourself
is
not
a
solution.
I
don't
see
any
sense
in
taking
your
life
because
that
can't
be
a
solution."
Ronit
Roy
will
next
be
seen
in
Bollywood
films
Hungama
2
and
Shamshera,
and
the
Tamil
film
Bhoomi.
