'The weather got to Rahul Roy', narrates co-star Nishant Singh Malkhani on actor's brain stroke

90s heartthrob Rahul Roy suffered brain stroke while shooting for a project in Kargil, and is currently hospitalised in Mumbai. He was shooting for a short film titled LAC: Live The Battle directed by Nitin Kumar Gupta. The film stars Bigg Boss 14 contestant and actor Nishant Singh Malkhani in the lead role. Now, during an interaction with ETimes, Nishant revealed what really happened to Rahul and also said that he was airlifted from Kargil to Srinagar with the military's help and then to Mumbai where he is currently undergoing treatment.

Nishant stated, "It all happened on Tuesday. He was alright when we all went to sleep on Monday night. I think the weather got to him, it's extreme conditions out here in Kargil where we are shooting. The temperature is -15 degree centigrade. I cough blood every day, we are going up and down the mountains now and then and the nose capillaries get torn."

The actor further told the portal, "Rahul was a bit dull on Tuesday initially, and we suddenly observed that he was not able to deliver his dialogues. He was not forgetting them but he was groping for words to complete sentences, he just could not form sentences. Then, around evening, he started to behave little unusually, idhar udhar dekhne laga and we strongly sensed that something was wrong."

Nishant concluded by wishing Rahul a speedy recovery. He said, "It is very sad. I pray he gets well soon. We had flown together from Mumbai. It was a 17-day shoot. We have two more days to go. We should be back by Tuesday."

Rahul shot to fame back in the 90s with his leading role in Aashiqui. He was also the first-ever winner of the reality show, Bigg Boss.
