Rohman Shaal and Sushmita Sen’s relationship has been in the news for a few years now. Although they announced their breakup three years ago, these two are often seen together. Rohman, who made his Tamil film debut with the recently released hit Amaran starring Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi, says he doesn’t care what people think about his complicated relationship with Miss Universe 1994.
In an exclusive chat with Screen, the model-turned-actor addressed the conversation about his relationship with Sushmita, after the latter recently revealed on a podcast that he has been single for almost three years. Talking about facing public scrutiny regarding rumours, he says, “I’m very blessed because what people say or think about me doesn’t affect me. I know my truth and I am very honest with myself. What people say is their call. Whether they say good, bad or whatever, it doesn’t affect me.”
Rohman added, “What affects me is what I think about myself and what I’m doing now. I stand by what I’ve done in my life and I respect that completely. If someone can’t see that, that’s their problem.” The responsibility cannot be on me.

I asked him about the bond he shares with the Hoon Na actor and his daughters Renee and Alyssa as they have been together many times and he replied, “I have always said that we are like family. We may not be together or talk for months, but when they are my If needed, I will always be there. So, no questions about it.”
Meanwhile, Rohman made his Tamil debut with the successful film Amaran and he says that good work is coming after the release, “I wanted people to see my work in Amaran and see what I am capable of and then pitch me work. Which is starting to happen. I am really into it. I’m happy.”
The 32-year-old found the idea of playing a negative character “appealing”. “I was completely blown away by the idea of playing an antagonist because I am the complete opposite in real life. It kind of interested me because I took it as a challenge. Playing something different from myself and that too in such a big film,” he said.

While entering the industry for a modeling career, Rohman has also revealed that he will switch to acting. He says, “I shifted to Bombay in 2016-17. When I came here, I found out that many of my modeling friends are into acting, so I talked to them and found out that they were doing some acting classes, so I joined. I felt that I was not very interested in acting.”
‘At that time I got an audition for a big film and I got selected. But after a month, they told me that it is not happening due to some changes. It totally broke my heart. So I felt like I don’t want to act anymore. I stayed away from acting for four years. Fate had something else in store for me, so I did my first film Azadi in 2021, which is slated to release in a few months,’ concluded the actor.
In 2021, Sushmita and Rohman ended their three-year relationship by announcing their breakup through a post on their Instagram account. On the work front, Sushmita Sen was last seen in the third season of the crime thriller series Arya. On the other hand, Rohman Shaal recently starred in Amaran, in which he played the role of a terrorist. He has some projects in the pipeline which will be announced later.
