Ronit Roy drops truth bombs about art of walking away
Mumbai, Feb 17
Actor Ronit Roy, who has been a television star and is known for his work in films like 'Udaan', '2 States', 'Ugly' and several others, is dropping some truth bombs along with a dose of wisdom.
On Tuesday, the actor took to his Instagram, and shared a selfie. He wrote on the picture, "I don't walk away to teach people a lesson. I walk away because I learned mine".
He also penned a long note in the caption, as he wrote, "Yesterday someone asked me, what stops people from growing".
He further mentioned, "Well, small minds will always have small intentions and small outcomes. It's not your responsibility to take the toxicity out of them or them out of toxicity. I'm not sure and please correct me if I'm wrong but I think @iamsrk said a great thing in one of his interviews. "Main tumhare baare main achcha nahin sochta, main tumhare baare main bura nahin sochta, main tumhare baare main sochta hi nahin".
Last year in November, the actor had announced about his break from social media to focus on his personal growth. The actor shared a lengthy note on his social media account where he announced his break, breaking the hearts of a lot of his fans. The actor said that he is working on finding the 'new' and better version of himself, and for that, he needs to leave comfort and old, bad habits behind.
The actor also mentioned that while it seems scary, the break is much needed. Ronit also mentioned that it will be a temporary break and that he will return soon, further disabling the comments section on his Instagram post.
He wrote, "Hello, what I'm about to say will come from a place of love, understanding and gentleness. You all know I love you. I scroll, like your posts, comment on your posts and reply to as many DMs as I possibly can. I'm immensely grateful for all that I have received. I cherish everything. Especially the love and respect I've received from y'all, which I treasure and hold very close to my heart".
He added, "However, I have reached a place in life where I have to forge a new road ahead for myself and my family. A road which will hopefully lead to a better me as a human being, in relationships and as an actor. This road is one that I haven't walked on earlier. Leave comfort and old bad habits behind. Jump and live out of the box. Scary... I know... but it needs to be done".
The actor also said, "Total digital separation is one of the key factors in me growing stronger mentally and spiritually and finding the new me (whom hopefully y'all will love more). Hence, for a while (uncertain how long), please pardon me for not engaging on social media at all." Ronit also said that he will be back when he feels ready. "Needless to say, it's impossible to live away from your love; hence, I'll be back as soon as personal targets are reached and better habits are acquired and practised. Please don't forget me. Love y'all, and God bless y'all," the post concluded.

That SRK quote he mentioned is everything! "Main tumhare baare main sochta hi nahin" – sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is to stop giving certain people space in your mind. More power to him.
Honestly, good for him. Social media can be so toxic. As a fan, I'll miss his posts, but his mental peace is more important. Hope he comes back refreshed and with even better performances.
While I admire the sentiment, I do wonder if celebrities realize how privileged they are to be able to take a "digital detox" so easily. For most of us, our jobs and social lives are tied to being online. It's not that simple to walk away.
This is a lesson we all need, especially in our Indian families and workplaces where we're often expected to tolerate toxicity in the name of 'adjustment' or 'respect'. Knowing when to walk away is self-care, not selfishness.
His note was so heartfelt. "Leave comfort and old bad habits behind" – that hit home. We get so stuck in our routines. Wishing him all the best on his journey to find a better version of himself. ❤️
