Rohit Roy On People Claiming He Can Overthrow Shah Rukh Khan: “Stardom Got To My Head”

Rohit Roy is definitely one of the most talented faces of the television industry. There was a time when he was amongst the highest-paid tv actors and enjoyed a dream run. But the same didn’t translate in his filmy career. Speaking on such a poor career in the film industry, the actor isn’t shying away from admitting that he made some serious mistakes. He also speaks on how once people said that he had potential to overthrow Shah Rukh Khan.

On the small screen, Rohit enjoyed unparalleled fame with his roles in Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand and Swabhimaan. Further, he did several characters which fetched him a loyal fan base. Apart from daily soaps, the actor has also been part of reality shows like Nach Baliye and Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 6. But all the fame garnered from the small screen made him arrogant. No, we aren’t saying of our mind but Rohit himself has admitted it during a recent interview.

Rohit Roy recently had an interview with Navbharat Times. While speaking of his fame from tv shows, he said, “I had become immensely famous in a very short span because of my daily soap Swabhimaan. My character of Rishabh Malhotra was as popular as Sholay’s Gabbar Singh as such a character had never been seen on Indian television before. But all that stardom got to my head and instead of working on improving my acting and other skills, I only became more arrogant.”
