Roshan is the former editor of Radar, the pop culture magazine that was discontinued in November 2008.

Roshan arrived in the U.S. from Iran in 1979 at age 12, settling with his family in the Five Towns area of Long Island. After high school and college at NYU, he worked as a messenger at Details then briefly at Interview before becoming the editor-in-chief of QW, a gay weekly, in the early '90s. When QW was shuttered, he went to New York, where he worked his way up to deputy editor, generating buzz for pieces like the 1998 Vanessa Grigoriadis cover story "Power Girls," which introduced the world to Lizzie Grubman. In 2001, Roshan left New York to become the editorial director of Talk, Tina Brown's much hyped magazine. Talk took a nosedive after Sept. 11th and folded shortly thereafter, and Roshan went on to found the cheeky Radar in 2002.

Roshan's magazine didn't have the easiest time—it had three incarnations in five years before it was eventually discontinued in 2008. However, the immensely popular RadarOnline.com lives in its wake. Additionally, Roshan's founded other websites since 2008, such as TheFix.com, and went back to his roots with the exclusively-for-tablet magazine Punch! in 2012. [Image via Getty]
