Apart from films, actor Ronit Roy also does business. He has his own security agency, through which he provides security to big celebrities. In a recent interview, Ronit said that his condition had become very bad during Covid.
Money was not even available to pay salaries to the security guards. He even had to sell his car to pay salaries to his employees. Ronit said that at that time Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar had shown a lot of generosity. He continued making payment without taking service. This helped Ronit to some extent.
Salary had to be paid to 130 people, Ronit's condition was not enough to pay the money.
Ronit Roy while talking to Laharen Retro said- At the time of Covid, 130 employees used to work in my firm. Their families also had to be taken care of. Till a few months ago I didn't even have a job. I didn't even do much work.
Even after this I thought that I will give full salary to all my employees. However, I did not have enough money to pay my salary. Then I saw that there were many things in the house which were of no use.
Sold a Mini Cooper, removed some more luxury items
Ronit said- I had some vehicles which I was not using for a long time. There was a Mini Cooper, which I never drove. There were some other luxury items in the house. After selling all these, I gave the salaries to my employees. I didn't do them any favors. It was my responsibility to do this.
Ronit Roy became famous with the famous TV serials Kasauti Zindagi Ki and Adalat. He has worked in many films.
Was able to pay salary to 30 guards because of Akshay, Big B and Karan Johar
Ronit Roy further said- Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan and Karan Johar had shown generosity at that time. They continued paying me even without service. Due to this, at least 30 out of 130 security guards were out of work. This was a big relief for me.
Let us tell you that Ronit started doing this business in the beginning of 2000. The shooting of Lagaan was going on at that time. Ronit's security agency had provided security to Aamir.
