Rohit Roy calls himself 'luckiest guy' in sweet post for wife Manasi Joshi Roy
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Rohit Bose Roy took to Instagram to share a rare, candid tribute to his actress-wife Manasi Joshi Roy, calling himself 'the luckiest guy in the world' — and then immediately tempting fate with a self-deprecating joke about their post-photo fights. The post, shared without any occasion or anniversary peg, quickly resonated with fans of the long-married couple.
The Post That Started It All
Rohit shared a monochrome photograph of the two standing close together, both smiling at the camera. The caption was disarmingly honest: 'No birthday, no anniversary, no occasion at all… just feel grateful to have this one in my life. Men don't know how to show their emotions and I doubt I'd be able to tell her this to her face but I am the luckiest guy in the world for having landed her.'
He then added a playful Hindi warning to followers: 'Bas ab nazar mat lagana kyunki jitni baar Manasi ki tasweer lagata hun, humari ladayi ho jaati hai' — roughly, 'Now don't jinx it, because every time I put up Manasi's picture, we end up fighting.' The mix of sincerity and humour struck a chord online.
A Marriage That Has Lasted 26 Years
Rohit and Manasi married in 1999 and have a daughter named Kiara. Their relationship has largely stayed out of the tabloid spotlight — making moments like this Instagram post all the more notable. Notably, Manasi is the sister of actor Sharman Joshi, giving the family a well-established footprint in Indian entertainment.
