In an unexpected turn of events, Rahul Roy, best known for his part in 'Aashiqui', suffered a crippling brain stroke in 2020 while filming the movie 'LAC - Live the Battle' in Kargil. The actor's health suddenly deteriorated, necessitating a protracted hospital stay that lasted several months. We are all aware that medical prices in India are on a higher scale, often reaching lakhs of rupees.

It was at that time that Salman Khan, known for helping out his fellow colleagues when in need, selflessly assisted Rahul Roy in paying his increasing medical bills amid the terrible situation. Rahul's sister, Priyanka Roy, expressed her gratitude and referred to Salman Khan as a ‘priceless pearl’. Salman reached out to Rahul during a sincere talk and offered to help with paying the outstanding debts.
Priyanka Roy expressed her sincere gratitude for the act of kindness by saying, "He (Salman Khan) called him (Rahul) and asked if he can help with anything, and he literally helped, and the bill is cleared now."
Salman kept this gesture of compassion hidden from the media on purpose, according to Priyanka Roy. She was greatly moved by this, and she commended him as a real jewel. She went on to emphasise that Salman Khan volunteered his assistance without being asked, stating, "The key thing is that someone from the entire crowd comes and asks in fact if you are genuinely in difficulty. It is known as ‘you are a star’.”
Regardless of what people may think of Salman Khan, Rahul Roy stated his unshakable admiration for the actor and praised him for being a really kind person.
Rahul Roy's physical condition has thankfully improved, and his sister has advised him to approach Salman Khan about potential future employment options. The actor's most recent appearance was in the independent film 'Agra’, which explored sexual suppression among men in small-town India. The film was directed by Kanu Behl. Additionally, he appeared in 'Cabaret’.
