Rohit Roy opens up about his career
Rohit Roy, the actor, shared that people often praise his work, but that doesn't necessarily lead to getting more significant and better projects. Despite being in the industry for 30 years and delivering successful films, he still finds himself waiting for the next big opportunity.
In an interview with Mirchi Plus, Rohit Roy talked about his film career, expressing that while he's personally happy, he doesn't feel completely satisfied as an artist because he's still striving for more.
"I happy and content, but of course, I am hungry for the kind of work I want to do. To say that I am not good or competent is one thing, but when people write after every show or film that I have performed excellently, that Hrithik Roshan ko takkar de diya Kabil mein, stole the thunder in Shootout at Lokhandwala climax⦠kyu likhte ho yaar? If you are writing that, it means if I have done a decent job.
He added, "But that doesn't translate in work sometimes. Earlier, I would get disheartened a bit, that despite giving a big hit where I was the main lead, even then it didn't translate. Shootout At Lokhandwala became a cult film, but translate nahi hua na. Then I had to wait for Kaabil to come. Then I had to wait for Mumbai Saga to come. I have just been waiting. I am not content as an actor, I am hungry. I still look a certain age. I don't look my ageâ¦"

Having taken a hiatus from television after his last appearance in a reality show, Rohit sheds light on what led to his return.
Rohit said: "I never deliberately distanced myself from television. However, the landscape of programmes and shows available didn't quite ignite my excitement or align with my preferences. I was patiently waiting for a role that would invigorate my passion and propel me back onto sets, driven by the desire to contribute to something meaningful."
