10 TV Celebs Who Earn More Than Bollywood Actors

7. Ronit Roy

Ronit Roy’s story is the example of an underrated actor who achieved his rightful share of acclaim in the second innings of his career, well, better late than never. Ronit is not only popular film and tv actor today but has won over critics as well with his mind-blowing performances in Udaan, Ugly and 2 states. Ronit’s younger brother, Rohit Roy, is also a famous actor. He was born in Nagpur but did his schooling from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. He holds a degree in hotel management. He worked as management trainees as well at the Sea Rock in Mumbai. He is married to actress Neelam Singh since 2003. He has two daughters and one son.

Ronit was one of the lucky few actors whose first movie is a box office hit. His debut film as a lead actor, Jaan Tere Naam released in 1992 and he tasted success but then things went south when none of his successive films could do well. He started being referred to as a one film wonder. And then came his role as Mr. Bajaj in the mega hit Kasautii Zindagi Kay and the rest they say is history. Next, he replaced Amar Upadhaya as Mihir Virani in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu thi. He has not looked back ever since.

Ronit today has a net worth of approximately US $ 2.5 million. He charges INR 2 to 3 crore per movie assignment. Owing to his stature, he commands US $2500 per episode. He also owns a leading security agency, Ace Security and Protection, which boasts of a clientele like Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bacchan, Salman Khan and Amir Khan to name a few. Ronit owns a swanky house at Carter Road, Bandra in Mumbai. He is fond of collecting luxury cars and possesses Audi Q7 and Audi R8.
