One of the highest paid actors of television, Ronit Roy has worked in shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Bandini and Adaalat.
Now, he will start shooting for a new month-long supernatural series called Khauff Ki Adaalat, to be aired on Sony Entertainment Television.
He discusses his shows with Rajul Hegde, and tells her why he doesn't allow his children to watch television.
Do you believe in the supernatural?
My spiritual journey has taught me that there are good and bad spirits. Life after death, death after life... that is the cycle.
If that is the supernatural, then I believe in it.
You have not acted in a daily soap after Bandini. Have you cut down on TV work to concentrate on films?
I don't have time. I would go home once in 10 days during my daily soap days. Now if I do the same thing, my children will not speak to me (smiles).
After Udaan, I did Midnight's Children, Student Of The Year, Shootout At Wadala, Anurag Kashyap's Ugly and Boss.
I have to balance my security business (Roy runs a security agency called ACE, which provides security to Bollywood stars), films and television. But I still work 12 hours a day, 25 days a month. To make a 90-minute thriller episode, it takes almost the same time as a daily soap, which is 23 minutes per episode, five days in a week.
