Rohan was set to become an investment banker after he got his degree in econometrics and mathematics from UK. Genetically he feels there is nothing that made him change his mind and become just like his father , but he just felt inclined to acting.
Usually these days the star kids are in news much before their entry into the films and are known faces in Bollywood, however it was not the case with the young handsome Rohan Mehra, the son of the veteran actor Vinod Mehra.
With the premature death of his father Vinod Mehra, the family shifted out of Mumbai and settled in Kenya. He grew up with his sister, mother and grandparents away from the film industry or Mumbai the hub of the Hindi Cinema.

Although Rohan Mehra believes that the Bollywood film industry has welcomed everyone with open arms, having come from a background of film family, he struggled to get his first break and foothold in the Hindi Cinema. In his earlier days he was never interested in Cinema but as he grew older, he was drawn towards acting. he He was raised in Kenya, where there was only one theatre and no one was interested in films or career in films.
Rohan Mehra will make his debut in Saif Ali Khan starrer film,
‘Bazaar’ . He was known or heard about only after he joined the industry and nobody knew who he was. He says he never felt the need to use his father’s name for entering the industry.
