MUMBAI: Rohit Roy is a big name in the world of entertainment industry and has been around for more than three decades. He has been part of many successful television and Hindi films and has a good fan following who bestow a lot of love and support him. He is known for his roles in movies like Kaabil, Fashion, Dus Kahaniyaan, Shootout at Lokhandwala, Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena, LOC Kargil, Hum To Mohabbat Karega etc.
Rohit, who was recently a part of the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 13, revealed that his daughter Kiara was offered Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies. He said that although they have no issues with her joining films, education remains her priority.
Elaborating on her recent offer, Rohit said, “About a year and a half back, I was at a fashion event hosted by Shabana Azmi. There was a great amount of media and paps and of course many stars. Later, Excel called me for The Archies. I told them that she is studying at the Brown University but I will check. I did tell her but she couldn’t give it a thought given the space she is in, where competition is intense. I have told her that once you finish your education and want to give it a thought, we would wholly support you.’
Speaking about if he will ever direct his daughter in a project, he said, “I think it’s one of the biggest mistakes of filmmakers to direct their own kids. It’s the worst thing. I may produce for her but not direct her. The point also remains that she would want to be directed by Karan Johar more than me (laughs). But I will never helm her first film as I would not be able to push the envelope. It would be best if she’s directed by someone who works with her only as a creative collaborator. I think filmmakers should never launch their kids.”
