During Covid, Ronit Roy’s security agency was about to SHUT DOWN, only Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar helped

Actor Ronit Roy, whose security firm Ace Security provides bodyguards for celebrities, claimed the Covid-19 outbreak cost him a lot of business. He said that only actors Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar stood with him during the difficult period. Things were so bad that he pondered closing the business, but he kept his staff on the payroll because they needed money for their respective families. Ronit said that the Covid-19 pandemic affected him ‘a lot’.

Speaking to Etimes he said, “Post lockdown in March 2020, I decided to shut down my security agency. My wife Neelam and I sat down and realised that there was a lot happening; some worker’s wife was pregnant, someone’s mother was unwell. I decided to keep them on the roster. As for my clients, the so-called stars, they went away. Only a few, in fact, just two Mr Bachchan and Akshay Kumar stood by me in the lockdown and I am very grateful to them.”

When work began, Ronit said he requested his 110 employees to return to their jobs, but 40 of them declined, citing a desire to return to their hometowns. Despite taking care of their financial requirements, he was outraged by their perceived indifference and has since changed the way his agency functions. “I resumed the agency but in such a way that I have nobody on the roster now; we have devised some way to pay the staff,” he said.

“Those clients cannot be short on money,” Ronit said when asked if any of the clients he lost wanted to work with him once things got back to normal. He added, “Several of them approached and returned to me, but I refused to work with them.”
