“He is Perfectly Safe and Fine”: Deepak Tijori Dismisses Viral Rumors Surrounding Rahul Roy’s Well-Being
Veteran actor Deepak Tijori has fiercely defended his longtime friend and Aashiqui co-star, Rahul Roy, completely shutting down recent online speculation regarding the actor’s health, financial stability, and personal life.
The controversy ignited after a series of candid social media videos featuring Roy went viral, sparking highly polarized reactions. While some netizens expressed alarm over his physical gait and speech patterns—referencing his recovery from a major brain stroke in 2020—others used the footage to target his lifestyle choices. Tijori has now stepped forward to clarify that the public concern is entirely manufactured.
A Lifelong Brotherhood: Tijori Outlines the Reality
Speaking directly to the news agency IANS, Deepak Tijori rubbished the negative headlines and reassured fans that Roy is living a safe, stable life.
Deepak Tijori: “I am in regular touch with Roy. Roy is still my brother, my friend, and he is perfectly safe; he is perfectly fine. It’s just people making news for no reason. There is no such thing [trouble] that has been written about him.”
Rahul Roy Issues a Direct Clarification – Tijori’s supportive words follow a detailed, transparent statement published by Rahul Roy himself. Addressing the digital rumors point-by-point, the Aashiqui star rejected social media narratives claiming he had been abandoned or was facing a severe financial crisis.
Roy confirmed he resides in a supportive environment with his sister and brother-in-law at their Madh Island home, where he receives daily care and emotional backing.
He clarified that choosing to travel via local auto-rickshaws and opting out of private security detail are simple personal preferences, not signs of financial distress.
While admitting that he is currently managing legal fees linked to court cases that date back to before his 2020 medical emergency, Roy stressed that he is by no means helpless.
A Call for Meaningful Work Over Digital Pity
Rather than receiving public sympathy or being the subject of clickbait journalism, Roy emphasized that his ultimate goal is to remain professionally active on film sets. He noted that continuing to work provides him with a strong sense of purpose and directly aids his ongoing cognitive and speech rehabilitation.
Concluding his message to fans and critics alike, the actor delivered a sharp reality check: those who are genuinely concerned about his well-being should channel their energy into helping him secure meaningful acting opportunities and casting auditions, rather than fueling speculative rumors on the internet.
