One of the most loved faces of television, Ronit Roy is popular for his stint as ‘Mr. Bajaj’ in Kasautii Zindagii Kay. Born in Nagpur in a Bengali family, Ronit began his career working as a management trainee at Mumbai’s Sea Rock Hotel. While he was keen to work in Bollywood, Ronit made his acting debut in the film, Jaan Tere Naam in 1992. After the success of his debut film, he went on to act in films like Sainik, Hulchul, Army and Khatron Ke Khiladi.

Ronit Roy’s professional life

Since his initial career in films could not bring him much success, he moved to TV. His unprecedented popularity in shows like Kasamh Se, Kasautii Zindagi Kay, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, and Adaalat made him one of the highest-paid television actors in India. In 2010, Ronit was seen in the critically acclaimed film, Udaan, which got him a lot of accolades.

Apart from film, Ronit also owns a security agency, Ace Security and Protection, which caters to the protection of Bollywood biggies like Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. Ronit and his security agency are in the news currently after it was reported that actor, Saif Ali Khan decided to opt for Ronit’s agency for his security.

While many of us know everything about Ronit Roy’s professional life, only a few know that he was once married to Dilip Kumar’s niece, Johaina Mumtaz Khan. Their wedding didn’t last long, and the two called it quits. Today, let us read on to know more details about the untouched chapter from Ronit’s life.

Ronit Roy’s first marriage and divorce from Dilip Kumar’s niece

Ronit Roy was married to Johaina Mumtaz Khan, who is the niece of veteran actor, Dilip Kumar. Johaina is Dilip’s sister, Taj’s daughter. Soon after their marriage, Ronit and Johaina became parents to a daughter named Ona Roy. However, when Ona was just six months old, Ronit and Johaina separated.

After Ronit and Johaina’s divorce, she moved to the US with her daughter and stayed there. Ona shares a great rapport with Rohit. But for Rohit, staying away from his daughter, Ona was a challenge. Once, in a throwback interview with The Times of India, Ronit shared how he missed Ona’s growing years and said:

“Ona knows I’m her biological father even though we separated when she was six-months old. I have seen her just once a year that too for a brief period of time. I have missed 20 years of my daughter’s life. I have missed her life completely. It hurts when I think of it. But I think that as she is growing older, our bond has begun to strengthen.”

Ronit Roy’s second marriage to Neelam

Ronit Roy met model Neelam Bose at a friend’s party, and they liked each other at the first meeting. The duo then occasionally met at parties and exchanged telephone numbers. They dated for a few years and got married on December 25, 2003. The duo embraced parenthood with the arrival of their kids, Aador and Agastya.

For the unversed, Rohit’s wife, Neelam, is a former model who participated in various beauty pageants. She has also acted in commercials and TV serials like Saans, Kaleerien and Koshish Ek Asha.

Ronit Roy’s daughter, Ona’s relationship with his present wife, Neelam

Ronit Roy’s daughter, Ona, was just 14 when he told her about Neelam. It was not difficult for the actor to convey his feelings for Neelam to his daughter, Ona as she understood it. Ona shares a heart-warming bond with Ronit’s current family. Recalling how he told Ona about his plans to marry Neelam, the actor shared:

“My daughter was only 14 when Neelam met her for the first time. I still remember, I was driving the car, Neelam was sitting next to me and Ona was also with us. After we dropped Neelam to her place, I told Ona that I wanted to talk to her and she instantly replied, ‘I know daddy you want to marry her’.”
