Yes, that's him ' in his avatar for the teleserial Bandhini, but now siting jauntily behind the wheel of a security car with Kylie beside him after he collected the famous Australian singer, songwriter and actress from the Mumbai airport and took her to her Powai hotel on Wednesday night.

Kylie, you know, is here on an assignment for the film Blue in which she stars alongwith superstar Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt. She is here to shoot for a song that she did in the film to A R Rahman's score and which Bollywood's ace choreographer will direct.

Ronit Roy, who is described as being the Big B of television, has a security agency that has in the past provided protection in India to several stars including Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie, and Nelly Furtado. On these security details, Ronit was present himself. Which is not surprising, because Ronit was also physically available for Aamir Khan during the actor's hectic Panchgani wedding, for Hrithik Roshan during outdoor location shoots in public, and for Preity Zinta when she appeared at the crowded Gateway rally post 26/11. In Kylie's case, it was more a friendly gesture Ronit said because he was friendly with the producers of Blue. He found Kylie to be very sweet and down-to-earth. Did the hot pop star know he was a Mumbai television hottie? "I'm not sure," Ronit admitted. "We were focussing more on her well-being than mine."
