In the course of the conversation, when Ronit enquired of what motivated him to start a security agency, he added that it was not because he wanted to make his interests manifold. He said, "I am a honest kind of guy, I can only tell you the way it was. It was (the result of) hunger, poverty. Every great step that I have taken in my life has come out of desperation, frustration, and poverty. There was a time when my debut film was a silver jubilee, and after that I didn’t get any work. I have no idea why. I got frustrated. I got no work. I got so scared. I had rent to pay, I had to feed myself. What would you do with no money? So I kind of signed the wrong films, and they flopped. Then I went back to square one and had no work.”

He went on to add, “My alcoholism started out of that frustration. After that everything went south. My life went into gutter. Somehow the alcohol would come… I would wake up at 3'o clock and then have hangover, it just made things worse. I was written off by the industry, they said he is finished. Then a friend of mine, he said that my name and face still holds value. He had a security agency, I used to go to his office to understand, to get trained and that’s where it started from. It started from a place of ab kya kare (What to do now)?”
