Aashiqui star Rahul Roy, who suffered a brain stroke in 2020, has revealed that Salman Khan helped him pay his medical bills. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Roy's soul sister Hari Maa Priyanka said that Khan called Roy and offered to help after hearing about his stroke.
"I want to also say thanks to Salman (Khan) because whatever bill was pending, Salman cleared it in February," Priyanka said. "He had called him (Rahul) and asked if he can help with anything and he literally helped and the bill is cleared now."
Priyanka clarified that the director of Roy's film LAC — Live the Battle in Kargil had paid some of the medical bills, which were from Rahul’s pending remuneration for the film. But the rest were covered by Khan.
"The most beautiful thing is Salman did not speak about it in front of the media," Priyanka said. "This is called really being with a person. This touched my heart. This man is a gem. I mean I didn't ask him, I could have asked. Somebody out of the whole crowd comes and asks in reality if you are actually in trouble and that's the biggest thing. This is called you are a star. Not just being a star in front of the camera."
For the unversed, Roy suffered a brain stroke in 2020 while shooting for the film LAC — Live the Battle in Kargil. He was immediately taken to Wockhardt Hospitals, where he underwent angiography of the brain and heart. The results showed that he had suffered a clot in his brain, and he was subsequently admitted to the ICU at Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai.
Coming to the professional front, the 55-year-old actor recently made headlines for the premiere of his film, Agra, at Cannes Film Festival 2023.
