Aashiqui Actor Rahul Roy Financial Crisis: Rahul Roy, who became the heartbeat of the country overnight with his first film ‘Aashiqui’ in the 90s, is today going through a very painful and struggle-filled phase. This actor, who once ruled millions of hearts with his charming smile and blockbuster films, faced such an upheaval in his life that he had to dance at weddings to run his household. Rahul’s world changed completely after he suffered a brain stroke during shooting in the year 2020. Due to the long struggle of treatment and recovery for five years, he had no work, due to which his financial condition became very bad. Not only this, in his personal life, due to handing over everything to his wife during the divorce and being embroiled in an old legal dispute with his family worth Rs 30 lakh, he has to start his life again from zero. When the videos of him dancing at weddings went viral on social media, people trolled him, but Rahul responded boldly and said that there is no crime in working hard to earn a living and to earn two meals a day, and for this he did not shy away from earning Rs 2 to 4 lakhs at weddings.
Struggled for 5 years after brain stroke
According to the news, during the shooting of the film in Kargil in the year 2020, Rahul Roy suddenly suffered a severe cerebrovascular stroke (brain stroke). He was immediately admitted to the ICU of Nanavati Hospital in Srinagar and then Mumbai, where he had a very close look at death. It took him a long time of about five years to recover from this serious disease. Rahul says that if this accident had not happened, his career would have been at a different stage today, but due to illness, there was a long break in the industry and he lost his work.
Divorce, division of property and legal dispute of Rs 30 lakh
Rahul Roy, who was facing financial crisis, openly told that not only illness but also major setbacks in his life on the personal front. He got divorced a few years ago after which he transferred all his property and assets to his wife. Apart from this, he and his brother have been battling a legal case worth Rs 30 lakh for the last several years. Due to all these problems, today at the age of 60, he has to rebuild his life and his empire completely from scratch.
A befitting reply to the trollers – I dance in weddings to earn my living.
Recently, when videos of Rahul dancing at weddings and performing on his old songs went viral on social media, some people started trolling him. Expressing pain over this, Rahul said that those who troll him do not know how much hard work goes into this. They need money to meet their expenses and earn their living, so they earn Rs 2 to 4 lakh by dancing in weddings. They have no shame in this hard-earned money because what a person has to do to run his household is not small.
