He wrote, “I do my work with honesty and modesty. I have some legal matters to pay for, and these are not from today—they are from before the brain stroke happened. If you mock my simplicity or make fun of my struggles, it says less about me and more about you. If you are truly so concerned, then help me find some genuine and decent work so I can pay for these cases. At least I am earning through hard work, not by mocking others. And after the brain stroke, it is important for me to stay active. I want to work for as long as I am alive. It keeps my mind active and gives me the sense of purpose and responsibility that I am still working today. Yes, it may hurt a little sometimes, but you cannot break me.”SCREEN reached out to Rahul Roy; however, the actor was “busy” to comment on the issue further.Bollywood supports Rahul RoyFarah Khan, Sonu Sood, Maniesh Paul and Anupam Kher were among those who supported Rahul. “Good luck to you Rahul,” wrote Farah.

More power to you!”Falaq Naaz reacts to Rahul Roy’s statementReacting to Rahul Roy’s statement, actress Falaq Naaz said, “Yesterday I posted a reel featuring Rahul Roy sir. At first, I thought he did that by choice. By evening, I learned that he is going through a lot in his life; he has been going through a financial crisis and health issues. When I found out this, I deleted that reel. In the morning, I saw Rahul Sir’s statement, where he said he is doing this because he has some legal issues and has to look after things. When he said that if people are so concerned, they should help him find good work, I would definitely love to do that. We have grown up watching him. I felt very bad seeing that statement. Bad times can come on anyone, as a human being, I got reminded that the man who did so much work, his film songs are still trending, he was the very first winner of Bigg Boss. I felt very bad to see that the artist makes content that doesn’t suit him, but he has to do it. He is not getting good work in the industry.”Also Read | ‘Blink if you are in danger’: Rahul Roy makes reels with random creator, internet is baffled View this post on Instagram A post shared by Falaq Naazz (@falaqnaazz) “My intention behind this video is that if it helps improve his life a little, I will be very happy. I will definitely help him and urge people who can give him work to get in touch with him. Let us help him. I genuinely want him to get good work, and I wish no artist were ever forced to make such content that they themselves don’t like. As an artist, I didn’t like to see him in that video; I was not making fun, but was shocked to see it. When I got to know the backstory, I deleted that video. I don’t want to hurt him. I wish that his problems were solved and he never had to just work out of helplessness,” Falaq Naaz added.Who is Rahul Roy?Actor Rahul Roy made his debut in 1990 with Mahesh Bhatt’s Aashiqui.
