Rohit Saraf is currently in theatres with his film Ishq Vishq Rebound which is a spiritual sequel of Shahid Kapoor’s 2003 movie. This was just an additional feather in Saraf’s crown as the 27-year-old is already a sensation among the new bees for his young romance shows that gave him a chocolate boy image over the years.

In a recent interview with ETimes, Rohit Saraf looked back at his career and also revealed which actors were his inspiration.

Rohit Saraf says he is satisfied with his journey so far

Having been here for a long, Rohit says he is not satisfied with where he wants to be and this doesn’t take away the fact that he has come this far.

Saraf says, “It means the world to me.” The young actor feels the scope of improvement is there and he will eventually learn them over time. The ongoing year has been quite creatively satisfying for him as Rohit feels he was able to do the work that he was longing for.
