Happy Birthday Rahul Roy: An overnight sensation, Rahul Roy gained massive fame after headlining Mahesh Bhatt’s film Aashiqui (1990). He became a national crush after the film’s success. Despite appearing in several big movies, he never managed to land a major box office hit after Aashiqui. As a result, he began acting in supporting roles.
Meanwhile, he entertained his fans by appearing on television shows like “Kaise Kahoon” and “Karishma-The Miracles of Destiny.” Rahul was crowned the winner of the reality show ‘Bigg Boss’ Season 1 in 2006. He is often considered a forgotten star for his one-movie wonder career.
