'Actors must take risks, but not at the cost of our own lives': 'Aashiqui' fame Rahul Roy after suffering a brain stroke

‘Aashiqui’ fame Rahul Roy had suffered a cerebrovascular stroke last year and was hospitalised for several days. The actor, who is on a road to recovery now has talked about the time when the incident happened and also advised actors to take care of themselves and not risk their lives.

In a recent interview with Times of India, Rahul, who is feeling better with each passing day, said that young actors shouldn’t let anyone take advantage of them and put them to their deathbed. Rahul’s remarks come just a few days after actor Sidharth Shukla passed away at the of 40 after suffering a heart attack.

On being asked, what was his biggest fear during the health scare, Rahul replied saying, “I had a brain stroke, so I wouldn’t be able to answer this because I was totally under observation and heavy medicines.”

He added, “But now, when I look back at it, it makes me release many things. I have learnt through this incident, that we, as actors, must take risks, but not at the cost of our own lives. It is dangerous to just trust random, unripe professionals who have no idea of the process of making films and may do hazardous things to achieve their goals.”

“I would like to especially say this to actors of this generation and to aspiring actors who are looking forward to entering this industry to be an actor. Don’t let your work go to your head and don’t let anybody take your advantage and put you on your deathbed. This is the scariest thing that can happen to anybody. You must only trust amateurs and the right professionals,” Rahul said.

Rahul even credited her sister Hari Priyanka Roy for bringing her back from the dead and said she is more like his mother now.

So what is the first thing Rahul will do post his complete recovery? He said, “I have not yet thought about it. Firstly, I want to focus on getting better, which, I believe I am doing with each passing day. My priority is to first start talking fluently.”

On the work front, Rahul will feature in a film that will showcase his methodical acting. He also recently shot for a music video and is the health brand ambassador of a health app.
