When Rohit and Salman Khan met at the Celebrity Cricket League in Ahmedabad, he expressed his frustration. "I had gained a lot of weight and was getting frustrated because nothing was working out." I expressed my dissatisfaction to Salman. I'm doing everything I can, but nothing is happening, and he looked at me and said, "You look like a fat cow, and I wouldn't give you any work," he added.

However, Rohit also stated that Salman's words inspired him to improve himself. "Everything he shared with me that day resulted in my complete physical metamorphosis." I was 45-46 when I determined that I wanted to be the sexiest 50-year-old before I turned 50, and it occurred. He stated that you must either be like this or continue fighting. "It's not that I looked bad, but he saw that I could be more," the actor remarked.

Rohit has appeared in a number of films. In the 2017 action-romance film Kaabil, he co-starred alongside Hrithik Roshan. He also appeared in the 2021 film Mumbai Saga starring John Abraham, Emraan Hashmi, Kajal Aggarwal, Prateik Babbar, and Samir Soni. Rohit appeared in the 2022 film Forensic alongside Radhika Apte, Prachi Desai, and Vikrant Massey.
