Actor Rohit Roy says quitting sugar was harder than giving up smoking and drinking: 'It's been the most amazing change'
Rohit took to his Instagram handle and shared a note about his new diet and how he has quit sugar. He mentioned that it wasn't as easy as people think. However, he called it one of the most amazing changesges he has made. He shared, 'Giving up smoking and drinking wasn't as tough as giving up sugar! And believe it or not, that's been the most amazing change I've made to my diet!' In a recent interview with TOI, the actor opened up about his fitness journey and how people assume he has quit television. He shared, 'A lot of people think I don't want to do television shows. In fact, some close producer friends of mine were surprised when I told them I'm keen to do a good project on TV. It just has to be something I can dig my teeth into because the medium needs a different kind of commitment — 12 hours a day for a year, and if it works, then even longer. So, I want to love the show, the character, and the writing.' In an earlier interview, he shared, 'I was a complete bookworm. But the moment I signed my first film, I realised that unless I went to the gym and made myself presentable, it wouldn't work. After that, very early on, I realised that working out is essential. You become disciplined, you feel better, and your day starts on a high. My fitness journey started as vanity but soon became a lifestyle for me.' On the work front, he has won hearts with television shows like Swabhimaan, Kkusum, and Virasat, and movies like Shootout at Lokhandwala and Kaabil.

Rohit Roy: Who says I've quit TV?
Rohit Roy, after a hiatus from television, expresses his eagerness to return with a compelling project. Known for roles in shows like 'Swabhimaan' and films like 'Shootout at Lokhandwala,' he's keen to explore comedy, a genre he believes is untapped in his career. Rohit Roy has been missing from television for a while now. So, has he quit the small screen? The actor replies, 'A lot of people think I don't want to do television shows. In fact, some close producer friends of mine were surprised when I told them I'm keen to do a good project on TV. It just has to be something I can dig my teeth into because the medium needs a different kind of commitment — 12 hours a day for a year, and if it works, then even longer. So, I want to love the show, the character and the writing.' Rohit, who has been part of TV shows like Swabhimaan, Kkusum and Virasat, and movies like Shootout at Lokhandwala and Kaabil, says that he wants to explore different genres, including comedy. He shares, 'Earlier, I would be offered only boy-next-door kind of roles. Then I did Shootout at Lokhandwala and people started seeing me as this rustic, slightly dirty guy, someone who could be dangerous. Then I did Kaabil, which was also different. But I feel there's a side that no one's tapped into and that's comedy. I did a show called Baat Ban Jaye early on; it was a comedy and did well. Unfortunately, newer filmmakers haven't seen that comic side. But I know I'm good at it.' Earlier, talking to us about how his fitness journey began, he shares, 'I was a complete bookworm. But the moment I signed my first film, I realised that unless I went to the gym and made myself presentable, it wouldn't work. After that, very early, I realised that working out is essential.
