A still from Bandini
Ronit Roy could give lessons in multitasking. He owns a security agency, is a producer and TV actor. Now, he has turned director. Ronit is not only the lead actor but also the director of Ekta Kapoor's show, Bandini.
Since the past few months, Ronit had been telling Ekta that he wanted to direct a TV show. "But since Ekta needed him more as an actor, she kept evading the subject," our source said.
Explaining how Ronit finally fulfilled his dream of directing a show, our source revealed, "Bandini was earlier being directed by Santaram Verma, who was later asked to direct another Balaji show. Kaushik Ghatak was brought in place of Santaram Verma but he too opted out as he got an offer to direct a film. That was when Ekta got Ronit to direct Bandini."

A Balaji official confirmed and said, "Yes, Ronit has been directing Bandini. He has started directing the show since the past few days and is doing a fabulous job."
Ronit too confirmed the story. He said, "I had taken training in direction sometime ago. I wanted to turn director since a long time. It's finally happening now." When asked if he intends to continue directing, Ronit said, "I would love to."
Now that he is directing the show, won't his role be reduced? "Shubh shubh bolo. It's not difficult to direct your own scenes," added Ronit.
