By Anil Merani: Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor Romiit Raaj is pleased with his Star Plus show, being a numero uno show for the second straight week.
“I am just an actor, and I follow the brief given to me by the able production team led by producer Rajan Shahi; being postmasters of the trade, they know what works and what does not. I am happy to be working with such a consistently performing unit (15 years is a long time) which also has great co-stars like Samridhii Shukla and Rohit Purohit.”
Unlike switch-on-and-off actors, Romiit Raaj’s dedication to his craft is unwavering. He immerses himself in his characters, preferring to stay in them to understand and portray their emotions honestly. “No wonder during the current emotion track, when my character Rohit Poddaar gives up his child to his brother Armaan and his bhabhi Abhira, I sit aloof during the shoot, staying in that zone,” he shares.
Romiit, who has been around for years, admits facing many professional and personal challenges.” For a long time, I did not get work, and in that lean phase, I also lost my emotional anchor, my mother.” A far cry from when I was simultaneously doing two shows as a lead.” says a placid Romiit.
his known shows include Maayka, Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyann and Adaalat
Romiit adds, “I must thank my better half, Tina Kakkar , for supporting and loving me during those tough times. It seemed it could not worsen for a while, but then Saviour Rajan Shahi appeared and offered me Bobby Sood in Baatien. Since then, I have not looked back.”
Romiit’s gratitude towards Rajan Shahi is profound. “I am forever grateful to Rajanji for choosing me when he could have easily cast someone else. He saw my talent and gave me a second chance. Further, he also made Yeh Rishta’s new Rohit Poddar. ” Romiit expresses.
Romiit is now satisfied working exclusively with Rajanji, ” This man stood by me during my tough time, and I will repay that trust with total loyalty.”His contentment with his current work is palpable, and his loyalty to Rajanji is unwavering.
Romiit is a non-controversial man,” I prefer to let my work speak for itself; the other noises distract you from your core goal, which is to entertain. I want to keep working, period. “ended he.
