It's all about managing your time!
Ronit Bose Roy is acting in four daily soaps and still making time for family
ROSHNI K OLIVERA
Shooting for four daily soaps is no small feat. But Ronit Bose Roy (that's how he likes to be called) is doing it, now that he has just made an entry in Kasamh Se. How's he managing? BT finds out…
You've just entered Kasamh Se. It is a very different role…
• My character Aparajeet Dev is a businessman who's always been victorious in everything he's done. Obviously he's cocky, brash and very confident. He has come to India after years. Why has he come back to India… that's the mystery that will unfold in the next one week.
Your look is very different in Kasamh Se…
• It was basically Ekta's idea. She wanted somebody in contrast with the character Jai Walia, who is a thorough businessman well-suited. My character is in contrast to that. And it's worked out very well for me. After almost six years of suits, I'm trying something funky. I'm loving it.
Just two weeks ago you entered Kayamat replacing Mohnish Behl…
• Mohnish Behl's role was supposed to be a cameo for around 10 to 12 episodes. However, that got stretched. Mohnish had commitments to fulfil. He had to go abroad for a shoot. So, I was asked to take over.
But, how are you managing four daily soaps?
• Kayamat's role should wind up in the first week of May. Kasauti Zindagi Kay will be taking a leap soon. Kyunki saas Bhi Kabhi Bhu Thi is a little on and off for me considering Mihir's track is not currently full-blown. It's just a matter of presence on the show. Now my entire concentration is on Kasamh Se because that will take up most of my time.
How many hours are you working right now?
• I'm putting in about 14 hours everyday.
And what about time with family?
• My daughter Aador will be two in May. Over the past few months we did go on holidays because I had some free time. Now it's time to hit work again. But I do have time with my daughter in the mornings or when I get back from shoots. My wife Neelam sometimes comes on the sets with lunch and that's where we also spend time together.
