yes Rohit have played more diverse roles but i was talking about popularity (more familiar face) n coz I've seen hitesh many times before udaariyaan n I've seen Rohit 1st time in udaariyaan n i think hitesh is much more natural n expressive actor than Rohit. Before Hitesh, ankit gupta was only natural actor in udaariyaan. No one was even close to him. But hitesh is as good as ankit. New girls nehmat, mallika n naaz r also natural actors but hitesh n ankit r still bestOriginally posted by: Miss-Behave
Just to add a different perspective to this whole rohit v hitesh discussion, popularity or not, rohit definitely has the most diverse and impressive portfolio of work from the two actors. He has played grey-negative role in star plus' dil toh happy hai ji and he played a major main lead role of alexander the great in the critically well received and major tv series porus. I have seen his previous work before that too in the popular star plus crime show arjun.
I have seen hitesh in choti sardarni and took a look to see what other shows he has done in past. Hitesh wasn't even the actual lead in choti sardarni even if it was a popular show and other than that he has not done any other significant work or diverse roles that stick out. In fact both the actors haven't really played leads in major trp toppers but if we look at the quality of work, diversity of roles they have both done and who has done more bigger roles/ lead roles, it is rohit who comes out on top.
Rohit played major lead roles in the historical shows Porus and Razia Sulta, Porus having been a very well received show especially even if it wasn't a major trp topper as usually tends to be the case with sony shows that get average ratings but are better quality than most of tv and Porus was very popular at the time it was on air. I saw him last where he played main negative role in star plus' dil toh happy hai ji as a lawyer. And he played a lead role of doctor in sony tv's dhadkan more recent too. Rohit has had far more lead roles and has experimented more with his roles.
Out of the two Rohit is the more established actor for sure and the stronger actor too.
