Ronit Roy is sizzling hot!' says Rakshand

Yes! He's a sizzler. I know, he's my 'rakhi brother' et al, but, when he walked out in the Bheesm costume designed by Manish Malhotra, Ronit's brand new avataar took my breath away. In my book, it is sinful to look so 'hot'. The effort behind the look clearly shows and Ronit's done full justice to the look. The flat abs, the toned body, the chiseled cheek bones...no actor could've done justice to the role as Ronit has done. He's pushed the extreme to get this look.

He's an icon when it comes to the daily soaps. He's the quintessential Mr. Bajaj of Kasauti Zindagi Ki and Mihir Virani of Kyunki...but, with this new avataar, I'm sure he's going to set standards for the classic epic look. I still remember when I saw Brad Pitt in 'Helen of Troy', I always was at awe for the sensuality the actor radiated wearing a kilt. It's not easy to radiate the raw energy in a period costume. And Brad Pitt in the epic period drama radiated that raw energy. He set the screen on fire. And post that, I have never thought anybody could do justice to the period costumes. We are used to seeing our epic mythologies in terms of 'glitter and gold' - the sheer opulence would mask the raw sensuality. But in Kahani Hamari Mahabharat Ki, Manish Malhotra has created the costumes which radiate the sexual energy and bring out the raw energy quotient.

The men never looked better on screen in Ekta Kapoor's Mahabharat. I never thought the character of Bheesm could look so 'hot', but it's a fact and it is out there because when the viewers are going to see Ronit's new avataar, he is going to be heralded as the next macho man of our industry. Infact, if I were to be honest, then, I'm actually jealous of Ronit's look. His package looks absolutely delectable.

Kudos to Manish and his team, but the final credit does go to Ronit for the effort he has put in to get this look.
