Talking about his art and initial days, Ronit Roy said, “Rather than bothering with numbers, it is better to bother with craft. It's an immense dimensional craft and in life is not enough to learn about it. I debuted with a silver jubilee film(Jaan Tere Naam) and yes everybody who debuted with a silver jubilee film became a star and some became megatstars. Four years down the line I had no money to pay my rent, or pay for the fuel of my car. I went through that time also. And then I limped back to work and television did what it did for me.”
