Rahul Roy’s career

Let us tell you that Rahul Roy was counted among the most popular actors of his time. The 1990 film ‘Aashiqui’ made him and actress Anu Agarwal superstars overnight. Especially the jacket scene of the film had settled in the hearts of the audience. This scene was also seen in the sequel ‘Aashiqui 2’ released in 2013, in which Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur were in the lead roles. The songs of both the films are still present in the hearts of the fans.

However, even after the success of Aashiqui, Rahul gradually moved away from the limelight. After he suffered a brain stroke in 2020, he stayed away from films and was occasionally seen on social media. But this reel of his has surprised the audience and these videos are rapidly going viral on social media.

Many actors came into the film industry but there are some names who became history with one film. Rahul Roy is one of them. The film ‘Aashiqui’ released in 1990 gave such stardom to Rahul that he started being discussed everywhere. People started accepting him as a romantic hero. Today’s generation may know him less but once upon a time Rahul Roy was the heartbeat of every heart.

47 movies in 11 days
After the success of ‘Aashiqui’, Rahul Roy’s demand had skyrocketed. In an interview given to Bollywood Hungama, he himself told that he had signed 47 films in just 11 days. The interesting thing is that he got only 30 thousand rupees for his debut film and after that suddenly everything changed. Although Rahul also told that he did not get any work for the first six months, but the speed that came thereafter was surprising.

Career took a turn
Rahul Roy was liked in films like ‘Majdhaar’, ‘Dilwale Kabhi Na Hare’, ‘Pyaar Ka Saaya’, ‘Junoon’ and ‘Jaanam’ but these films could not show the magic like ‘Aashiqui’. Whereas ‘Gajab Tamasha’, ‘Sapne Saajan Ke’ and ‘Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayi’ did not do well at the box office. Gradually Rahul’s career started wavering and the shine which was once his identity started fading.

New beginning with TV and Bigg Boss
After facing difficulties in films, Rahul Roy turned towards TV. He worked in shows like ‘Karisma: The Miracles of Destiny’ and ‘Kaise Kahoon’ and tried to prove himself again. The big turning point in Rahul’s career came in the year 2006 when he participated in the reality show ‘Bigg Boss’ and also won its title. This victory once again brought him into the limelight.

Salman Khan helped
Rahul’s personal life has also not been easy. In the year 2000, he married fashion model Rajlakshmi Khanvilkar. But both of them got divorced in 2014. In 2020, Rahul suffered a stroke and heart attack, after which he had a long treatment. He was in financial crunch due to medical expenses. In such difficult times, Salman Khan came forward to help him and helped him in repaying the loan. Let us tell you that the actor is celebrating his birthday tomorrow i.e. on 9th February.
