The Boss actor revealed that he shut his office and asked his house helpers to return to their hometowns much before the lockdown. Roy is used to social distancing and confessed that he is a 'recluse' and probably has had a 15-year lockdown because he doesn't step out of the house apart from work.

What were the challenges he faced with his family under quarantine? Ronit said it was difficult for his family to adjust and the biggest challenge in the initial days was to settle down the kids but is happy because they have a routine now and feel comfortable. The actor also pointed out that staying together means 'lot of togetherness and disagreements'.
