In an industry where a Kapoor , Khan , Sippy , Roshan or Chopra does work in favor of a person in bollywood, There have been numerous names who with unconventional looks and surnames made it big in the Bollywood industry. Payal Rohatgi is one such name. Coming over from a completely non-filmi background, Payal Rohatgi struggled and made a name for herself in one of the most highly competitive industry. Very few people are aware of the fact that she is a qualified computer engineer and on the personal front has been a pillar of support to her family. Being very close to her family and especially her maternal grandmother, She has always put them above her career and this has been the reason for her absence in the industry from time to time.

Having international class looks and an attitude to match, she appeared in modeling in her early career days for popular brands like amul, nirma, Eveready battery etc. Her modeling foray has been with Virender Sehwag and Amitabh Bachchan as well apart from established names in the modeling industry.


Her movie career is quite a roller coaster ride with a diverse range of movies being undertaken like yeh kya ho raha hai , Plan, 36 China Town, Corporate, Dil Kabaddi, Ugly aur Pagli. Being without a mentor or a Godfather had its own share of downside which showed in her not so significant films wherein she says that she was mislead by the people she trusted. Infact in some cases the storyline narrated to her at the time of signing was changed completely up to the tune of 80% and thus the final product turned out to be an unfavorable one. Payal has vehemently opposed the movies which created quite a rough patch and she blames her naïve and ever trusting attitude for it.

Her foray into television has been quite successful with major show appearances like BIGBOSS , Survivor , Khatron ke Khiladi , CID, Comedy Circus. On the Survivor show she met her current boyfriend Sangram Singh with whom she plans to start an NGO as well as a fitness book. Sangram Singh has been an international wrestler both in amateur and Professional arena. Payal values his simplicity and hardworking attitude and he has been impressed with her straight forwardness and no-nonsense approach to life.

Inspite of various setbacks and ups and downs of the movie industry Payal Rohatgi is determined to make a mark and and already has chalked out her plans for a Production company and a complete media house. She seems to be a perfect combination of aesthetic wisdom and business sense. With an experience of a 10 year career at her back and an experience she has her future course well planned. Surviving the volatile industry for 10years in itself is a feat and Payal seems to be determined to create a history in the coming decade.
