RONIT--From stuffy suits to stylish togs.

In what appears to be a bid to look younger and trendier, Ronit Roy is sporting casual duds at stylish dos. Gone are the trademark stuffy sherwanis, suits and printed shirts. It's denims, casual tees, chappals and sling bags now.

Says the 40-something Ronit, "It was a very natural progression, I think. Thanks to my screen avatars Mr Bajaj and Mihir, I've been wearing a lot of formal wear.

But I soon realised that it was important for me to be myself, so I've started wearing things I'm comfortable in. It's allowed me to break out of a self-created stereotype and also let's me chill out."

Getting inked

The red sling bag has become a favourite with the actor now. "It's very comfortable when I am travelling and holds everything from my cell phone to my wallet, iPod, deodorant, tissue papers, etc.

I like it because it's bright and vibrant," he says. 

As an extension of this younger, hipper look, Ronit is also planning to fulfill a long cherished dream.

"I've wanted to get a tattoo done for the longest time, but my schedules have really not allowed me to venture out and check out various designs. I plan to get inked as soon as I have some time on my hand," he adds!
