Before becoming a well-known actor, Ronit Roy went through some really tough times—think surviving on just roti and onions and scraping by on tiny paychecks after his debut in the early '90s. A kind dhaba owner even stepped in to feed him when he was completely broke. It’s a raw look at the struggles behind the glitz of Bollywood.

Editor’s Note: Fame isn’t always an overnight ride, and Roy’s story is a reminder that even big stars often start from rock bottom. It humanizes the industry and resonates with anyone who’s ever hustled through hard times—plus, it’s a nod to the small acts of kindness that keep people going.
