Rahul Roy Suffers Brain Stroke While Shooting in Kargil

Actor Rahul Roy suffered a brain stroke while he was shooting in Kargil for his upcoming film ‘LAC- Live the Battle.’

He was shooting the film under extreme weather conditions. This is what Rahul’s co-actor Nishant Malkani had to say to Times of India: “It all happened on Tuesday. He was alright when we all went to sleep on Monday night. I think the weather got to him, it's extreme conditions out here in Kargil where we are shooting. The temperature is -15 degrees centigrade.”

He further added, “Rahul was a bit dull on Tuesday initially, and we suddenly observed that he was not able to deliver his dialogues. He was not forgetting them but he was groping for words to complete sentences, he just could not form sentences. Then, around evening, he started to behave little unusually, idhar udhar dekhne laga and we strongly sensed that something was wrong.”

The actor was shifted to a military hospital in Kargil where a CT scan was done on Wednesday to understand his condition. On Thursday he was airlifted from Kargil to Srinagar. He was then moved to Mumbai’s Nanavati hospital in Mumbai. 

The Times of India stated that the actor is suffering from a condition called Aphasia in which a patient’s ability to speak and write is affected. 

Rahul Roy who captivated audiences with his performance in the film ‘Aashiqui’ is playing the role of a major in ‘LAC – Live the Battle.’ The actor is currently in ICU and is recovering.
