The Do-gooder

Romit,who has popularized characters like Yuvraaj and Jeet in Zee TV’s Ghar Ki Lakshmi Betiyaan and Maayka,feels that the toughest and most important job in the world is that of a homemaker. “If she’s not around,families fall apart,and I feel most marriages end up in a divorce,” says the man who claims to respect women for they are far more “superior than men in all aspects.” “Look at television,women rule on it,” he reasons how and why shows are made for women. “Because women like to see other women living their lives,of mothers,daughters,daughter-in-laws,of going through same difficulties,crying,conniving,taking revenge,bashing up men..they love it,” he says.

A workaholic,Romit also did his bit in films like Hum Dum and Yatra. “I idolise Aamir Khan,and like him,I want to selective,quality work.” Unfortunately,television offers a pretty limited scope! In the meantime,here’s a scoop for all the telly tubs: our boy Romit is going pretty steady with co-actress Shilpa Shinde and is planning to tie the knot within this year! Now,isn’t that dreamy!
