Hey folks, remember actor Ronit's Roy cryptic post on Instagram that created a lot of noise on social media? Now, almost a week later, the actor in an exclusive chat with ETimes, has broken down the post for his fans.

He said, "A lot of people have asked if I am doing okay. Well, I am doing fine. It is just that this episode has happened three-four times now, so I couldn't just stop but share the wisdom that I gained from it. I am a very old-school person and I have no regrets about it, but some people have tried to play mind games with me. I am a simple man, who likes to stay away from everything complicated. Some people can do anything for their careers, I am not one of them. I have achieved a lot without betraying people. I trust people until they let me down. My father always told me to trust people with a hint of distrust, now I feel that he was right."

The actor was also asked about his supposed break from television. Replying to this, the actor said, "For anything I do on TV, things need to work out from both sides (mine and the makers'). Two things happen to actors on TV – either you wither away, or you grow, and I feel I have grown as an actor. I did try to do a show on TV, but then COVID happened. All of us tried to do the show even after COVID, but we realised that it wasn't working, the numbers weren't good. The math and economics to have me on a show now don't work out for a lot of people. It is now difficult to sign me up for a TV show. I am still offered a lot of TV shows, but either the budget doesn't click, or the show lacks creativity. So, while makers get a reputed face when they sign me for a show, for me, there is nothing. But I am not saying I wouldn't do TV, if I feel a show has the potential to touch hearts, then I'm game and would do it with all the love."

Why be #fake when you #needtobereal."
