Ashiqui actor reveals the reason behind he left film industry

Rahul Roy, who became a sensation with Aashiqui, could not recreate the same success in his later films. A few years later, he disappeared from the industry, only to reappear as a participant in the popular reality show Bigg Boss and win its first season.

In a recent interview Rahul opened up about being away from the spotlight. “I walked away and that was my choice. Industry ka kuch lena dena nahi tha (The industry had nothing to do with it). Whether it is a privilege or whether it is a curse, I came into the industry not because I was seeking to be a star or an actor,” he said, adding that he was approached for Aashiqui after Mahesh Bhatt met his mother for a completely different reason.

“My growth as an actor had stagnated. You’re doing the same role again and again, and in that time, everybody’s perception is ki isko yehi karte raho (make him do the same thing). It was a combination of a lot of things,” he added.
