The first season of Bigg Boss came in November 2006 and its finale was held in 2007. The winner of that season was Rahul Roy, who is a Bollywood actor. Rahul Roy has given only one blockbuster film in his career and after that he worked in many films but did not get much success. Rahul Roy has been away from the big screen for a long time, but he definitely comes as a guest in some reality shows of the small screen. Rahul Roy is also very active on social media but today’s people are hardly familiar with his name. Rahul Roy was one of the popular actors of the 90’s and when his debut film came out, very few actors got the popularity he got at that time.
Actually, when Rahul Roy came on Kapil Sharma’s show, he had told that his film ‘Aashiqui’ came in 1990 which became a blockbuster. People of all ages listen and like the songs of the film. Rahul had told that after this film came out, he had many film offers, people used to run after him like crazy and many times with the help of security, he had to leave the place where the crowd surrounded him.
Rahul Roy had said in the show, ‘When my film came in 1990, I did not think that it would get so much love from the people. The film was released and I went to a theater in Mumbai to see the public’s reaction. Mahesh ji and some distributors were also with me. After the film was over, when I came out and the audience saw me, a crowd ran towards me. Mahesh ji hid me in the theater manager’s office and was later taken out with the help of security. I was both surprised and pleased to see all that.
According to reports, Rahul Roy’s debut film Aashiqui did a business of around Rs 5 crore at the box office while the budget of this film was said to be Rs 80 lakh. Singers like Kumar Sanu, Anuradha Podwal got fame from this film and they gained fame in Bollywood. The film proved to be a blockbuster and such success was the first and probably the last time in Rahul Roy’s life. After that, Rahul did many films like Junoon, Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayi, Sapne Saajan Ke, Pyar Ka Saya, Jaanam, Naseeb, Gumrah, Majdhaar, Agra, Ghajab Tamasha, Achanak. Many of these were average and many flopped.
For your information, Rahul Roy’s film career was not very good so he went to America. There he started his business and is doing the same today. However, he is still associated with the industry and is seen in some show or the other.
