Rohman Shawl on his relationship with Sushmita Sen and her daughters: ‘We are like family’

Rohman further adds, “What affects me is what I think of me and what I am doing at the moment. I stand by the things I have done in my life and I totally respect that. If somebody can’t see that, it is their problem, the onus can’t be on me.”

Ask him about the bond he shares with the Main Hoon Na actor and her daughters Renee and Alisah as they are snapped together a lot of times and he answers, “I’ve always said that we have been like family. We may not live together or not talk for months, but whenever they need me, I will always be there. So, there are no two questions about it.”

Meanwhile, Rohman marked his Tamil debut with the successful movie Amaran and he says that good work is coming to him after the release, “I wanted people to see my work in Amaran and what I’m capable of and then accordingly pitch work to me, which has already started happening. I am really happy about that.”

The 32-year-old found the idea of playing a negative character “appealing”. “I was totally blown away by the idea of playing an antagonist because I am completely the opposite in real life. It kind of intrigued me because I took it as a challenge. Playing something so different from myself and that too in such a big film,” he shares.

Rohman also opens up about shifting towards acting, while he entered the industry for his modelling career. He tells us, “I shifted to Bombay in 2016-17. When I came here, I got to know that many of my modelling friends were into acting so I spoke to them and got to know that they have been doing some acting classes, so I also joined. I realised that I am not particularly interested in acting.”

“During that time, I got an audition call for a big film that was being made at that time and I got selected. But after a month or so, they told me that it’s not happening because of some changes. It totally broke my heart. So, I thought that I don’t want to act anymore. I stayed off acting for four years. Fate had something else for me, so I did my first film Azaadi in 2021, which is about to be released in a couple of months,” the actor ends.

Sushmita and Rohman ended their three-year-long relationship in 2021, announcing the breakup with a post on their Instagram accounts. On the work front, Sushmita Sen was last seen in the third season of the crime-thriller series Aarya. On the other hand, Rohman Shawl recently starred in Amaran, in which he played the role of a terrorist. He has a few projects in the pipeline which will be announced later.
