Rahul Roy, famed for his role in the 1990 film 'Aashiqui', has recently been the subject of online trolling due to a series of social media reels. While some viewers mocked his collaboration with a digital creator, others empathized with his situation. In a candid response, Roy revealed that financial difficulties, exacerbated by ongoing legal obligations from before he suffered a brain stroke, have compelled him to explore such content. He expressed that the ridicule he faces reflects poorly on those who mock him, rather than on himself. Fellow actor Archana Puran Singh stepped in to defend Roy, praising his resilience and his ability to embrace what makes him happy. She expressed admiration for his nostalgic content and extended her heartfelt support. Filmmaker Farah Khan also voiced her encouragement for Roy, urging him to continue pursuing his passion. Amidst the divided reactions, actor Sonu Sood joined in, encouraging Roy to move forward with confidence.
