Ronit
Roy
who
turned
56
today
(October
11)
recently
opened
up
about
his
decades-long
career
in
showbiz.
In
an
interview,
Ronit
revealed
that
after
his
debut
release
Jaan
Tere
Naam
became
a
hit
in
1992
he
couldn't
find
any
work.
It
was
after
Ekta
Kapoor's
Kasautii
Zindagii
Kay,
that
he
got
noticed
and
garnered
a
fan
following.
Calling
the
show
a
turning
point
in
his
life,
he
said,
"2001
was
a
turning
year
for
me.
I
starred
in
their
show
titled
Kamal,
then
came
Kasautii
Zindagi
Kay
and
Kyunki
Saas
Bhi
Kabhi
Bahu
Thi.
That
was
like
big
wave
for
television.
I
consider
myself
lucky
to
have
caught
it.
Kasautii
was
a
turning
point
in
my
career."
Ronit
revealed
that
before
turning
to
films
he
also
tried
working
in
advertising.
Talking
about
his
debut
he
said,
Jaan
Tere
Naam
was
a
silver
jubilee,
which
meant
a
Rs
100-150
crore
film,
in
today's
time.
"It
is
natural
to
get
lot
of
offers,
lot
of
films
after
a
debut
that
ran
so
long
in
the
theaters.
Unfortunately,
for
me,
I
did
not
get
even
a
single
call
for
3
months."
"I
made
wrong
choices
and
ended
up
having
no
films
for
several
years.
It
was
in
the
early
2000s
when
I
came
back
with
Balaji
Telefilms.
And
2010,
I
came
back
to
cinema
with
Udaan.
So,
it's
been
a
journey,"
he
added.
Apart
from
TV
and
films,
Ronit
has
also
garnered
fame
with
several
OTT
releases
and
is
set
to
be
part
of
Spotify's
ACP
Gautam,
a
10-episode
podcast,
which
is
a
crime-thriller
that
revolves
around
a
police
officer
and
his
interesting
cases.
However,
Ronit
said
he
has
much
more
to
explore.
"I
like
this
quote
I
heard
years
back
-
Abhi
parinde
me
jaan
baaki
hai,
abhi
udaan
baaki
hai.
Challenges
are
there.
I
am
not
young
anymore.
Work
I
am
doing
has
become
demanding.
There
are
physical
and
emotional
demands
that
I
need
to
meet.
I
push
myself
for
it.
As
an
actor,
every
role
has
been
done
several
times,
but
there
is
a
challenge
to
do
it
differently
every
time."
