Aunty and Tahera,
Rohit has a beautiful voice and also plays the guitar. He also said that his experience working in serials has given him a good command of Urdu, which is evident in his dialogue delivery. He is also very articulate in his interviews.
As for the break between shows, Rohit always says that even though he gets many offers he is willing to wait for a good role because he wants creative satisfaction. This is the boon and bane of having an actor who is so talented and dedicated to his craft. Although Razia Sultan gave him fame and encouraged him to work with this production house again, playing Alexander has catapulted him to another level altogether and he has gained thousands of male fans as well, so not just a heartthrob. 😉 I really hope that other teams approach him with a great script and story sooner than later so that he feels compelled to accept the project and enthral us. I personally would love to see him in a non-historical show.
He does belong on the big screen. He said in the past that he was not confident enough in his acting to try for that, but that now he feels more ready and will only sign a big project with a good role. Who knows, maybe he will find something interesting pretty soon?
I must say though, since this is the first show of his that I've ever watched, I know and associate with him as a blond with green eyes who is clean shaven. Seeing him in his natural avatar throws me off, but I suppose it is unrealistic to expect him to remain blond for good. He himself says that he got so used to this look that he might find it difficult to go back to his original one. 😉

Apollo, my unhurried one😉, was principally the Sun God , though he also had music and poetry in his portfolio. Does Rohit sing and dance? I have no idea. I am sure he can do shairi, however.
Now we don't have a god for music and poetry. So, poor Rohit would get to play Apollo only if the CVs could pit Indra, or Suryadev against him, and give the Bharatiya Bhagwan 80% of the screen time,!😆
The boy can't very well be carrying on with a role every 2 years. He must be having some other profession alongside acting. I feel that he belongs on the big screen, preferably in Hollywood, as he can easily look Western.
Shyamala Aunty
