Rahul Roy brain stroke
Bollywood actor Rahul Roy, best known for his breakout performance in Aashiqui, has opened up about the difficult years following his 2020 brain stroke, the impact it had on his career and the financial challenges he is currently facing.
After spending considerable time recovering from the stroke, Roy is now trying to rebuild his acting career. He has also been performing at weddings, saying that such appearances help him manage his expenses.
In an interview with the Times of India, Roy spoke about how the brain stroke changed his professional life. Much of the past few years was spent recovering, leaving him with limited opportunities to work.
Roy said he is now happy to be back on film sets and in front of the camera. He expressed gratitude to people who are giving him opportunities again and said he wants to do more work as he looks to rebuild his career.
The actor also reflected on his 37-year journey in films, saying he believes he has done meaningful work in the past and is now looking forward to another phase of his career.
Videos of Rahul Roy dancing at wedding functions recently circulated on social media, leading to criticism and trolling from some users.
Responding to the criticism, Roy said he has expenses and needs money. He revealed that he sometimes earns Rs 2 lakh to Rs 4 lakh by performing at weddings.
Roy said people who troll him do not know the circumstances he has faced since his brain stroke. According to him, getting acting work after the 2020 stroke was difficult, and he did whatever he could to keep things going financially.
His comments underline the reality that a familiar face from Bollywood can also face significant financial uncertainty when health problems interrupt a career.
Roy is now focused on getting more acting opportunities. He said returning to a film set and facing the camera again made him happy.
The actor thanked those who continue to trust him professionally and said he wants to make the most of the opportunities coming his way.
Roy also spoke about his finances following his divorce. He said he had transferred his assets to his wife during the divorce and is now trying to rebuild his financial position.
He also mentioned an ongoing legal dispute with his brother involving around Rs 30 lakh, saying the two are working towards resolving the matter.
For Roy, the current phase is about more than simply returning to films. It is also about rebuilding his financial stability and professional identity after a major health setback.
