For the past few weeks, clips of Rahul Roy have been floating all over social Instagram and X. In these music videos, he appears quieter, less expressive, and far from the charming ‘Aashiqui’ hero people remember. The internet, as usual, did not stay silent. Comments started pouring in. Some emotional, some harsh, and some outright mocking.
But now, Rahul has spoken. And his response is not dramatic.

After facing criticism for his recent appearances, Rahul decided to address everything directly. Taking to social media, he shared a message that was both simple and strong.
He made it clear that he works with honesty and humility. More importantly, he revealed that he has ongoing legal matters to deal with; issues that existed even before his brain stroke. These are responsibilities he cannot ignore.
He also pushed back at people making fun of him. He even challenged critics, if they truly care, they should help him find meaningful work instead of judging him.
Rahul didn’t stop there. He pointed out that at least he is earning through hard work, not by putting others down. For him, staying active after his brain stroke is not just about money. It is about survival, both mental and emotional.
While Rahul’s note explained his side, fans had already been reacting strongly to his recent videos.
Many viewers felt uncomfortable watching him in these roles. Some said he looked like he was being pushed into something that didn’t suit him anymore. Others expressed sadness, saying he deserved better opportunities.
A few comments stood out for their emotional tone. One user questioned why he was doing such work at all. Another said he looked forced and called the situation disappointing.
To understand why this moment feels so heavy, you have to go back to where it all started.
Rahul Roy became an overnight sensation with ‘Aashiqui’ in 1990. The film was a massive hit, and his pairing with Anu Aggarwal became iconic. The music, the romance, and his quiet charm made him star almost instantly.
After that, he appeared in several films like ‘Junoon’, ‘Sapne Saajan Ke’, ‘Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee’, ‘Gumrah’. Later, he also entered television and won Bigg Boss Season 1.
But life took a serious turn in 2020. While shooting in Kargil, Rahul suffered a brain stroke. What followed was a long and difficult recovery journey.
