Ronit Roy
became a familiar face in Indian households after his roles in early 2000s Balaji Telefilms serials. The actor has now revisited some of the struggling periods in his life and how he ventured into the security services industry.
After facing professional setbacks in films, he started his own security firm and deployed security personnel to aid stars like
Amitabh Bachchan
,
Akshay Kumar
and more. He opened up about providing support to
Aamir Khan
when he faced some threats in the past.
Ronit personally trained his first batch of 12 employees, who have since grown into team leaders themselves. In a conversation with Hindi Rush, he mentioned that his business has thrived over the years and it was the Covid-19 pandemic that brought unprecedented challenges.

Only three stars paid during the pandemic
During the pandemic, everyone stopped taking the service, but only three stars helped him by paying an amount without cancelling the service. 'There were only three people who did not discontinue the services. They said, 'It's okay, we will continue to pay' – Amitabh Bachchan,
Karan Johar
and Akshay Kumar. They paid throughout Covid,' he shared. Ronit elaborated that their support helped retain a significant portion of his staff.
Ronit revealed how he built the foundation of his security firm. His initial training came from a group of professionals from Israel. A second training session was later held for his team under the guidance of South African experts. He was out on the field with his first team of 12, many of whom were later absorbed into celebrity security details.
