Back in the 90s, Rahul Roy became an ultimate lover boy with his stint in Mahesh Bhatt's romantic film Aashiqui. He along with Anu Agarwal became national heartthrobs instantly. For the uninitiated, Rahul is also the winner of the first season of the controversial reality show Bigg Boss. Now, the actor took to his Instagram page and shared the interview he did with an entertainment portal in which he spoke about life after Aashiqui. 

Talking about the same, Rahul stated, "Of course, when I came out with Aashiqui, I was where and after that whether I did a Junoon or whichever films, I could not reach those heights, I accept that. Of course, there was a huge change between colleagues and me, everybody and me but that’s what we expected na? When I came, Bhatt Sahab had told me ‘Rahul, this is going to be a lonely journey.’ That I had considered very seriously."

He also shared about the fact that he didn't seek approvals from his then colleagues and neither did they during his career. Roy shared, "I have seen a lot of actors, my seniors who have been through that and abandoned but I have never needed a crutch. I don’t seek my colleagues' approval and nor do they. But, I met up with a lot of them and if there is something good for me to do, then why not? If not, no worries. My thing is whether my film is small, I am still playing the protagonist. If I am a part of a huge setup where my role if blink and miss why would I do that?"
