TV actor Ashiesh Roy hospitalised, seeks financial aid from fans

The Sasural Simar Ka fame actor Ashiesh Roy who is currently admitted to ICU has sought financial assistance from his fans and well-wishers via his social media handles.

Mumbai: Television actor Ashiesh Roy shared on social media that he is hospitalised in a critical condition and also sought financial help from fans for dialysis.

"Am in the ICU... very ill. Dialysis," posted the actor in his Facebook account, sharing a health update with fans.

After informing about his condition, Ashiesh asked his fans to help him financially.

"Need your money for dialysis," wrote the actor, known for his roles in the TV shows Sasural Simar Ka and Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi.

This is not the first time Ashiesh has suffered a health emergency. In 2019, Ashiesh had suffered a paralysis attack. The 55-year-old actor has also worked in films such as Home Delivery (2005), MP3: Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar (2007) and Raja Natwarlal (2014).

Reacting to his post, many fans posted "get well soon" messages.

Ashiesh Roy's hospitalisation news followed by the plea for financial help comes a day after the suicide of TV actor Manmeet Grewal, who was found hanging from the ceiling by his wife at their residence in the city a few days back.

Commenting on Grewal's death, actor Nia Sharma posted on social media earlier on Tuesday that several of her friends in the industry were in a severe financial crunch because they had not been paid for months.

  Not that I knew him, but the news about his suicide owing to his financial crisis is disturbing! (Needless to mention Migrants’ plight in the news everyday) Now, was he the only one going through it? No! Every living being is. I know many of my friends(Actors) that haven’t been paid since last year or more with rents and EMIs mounting, work this year clearly being halted indefinitely, everyone’s losing patience somewhere. I know, Producers have bigger risks and problems to deal with .. no clarity on the industry resuming Work any soon ,but still keeping up with the salaries of their huge staff , I totally respect that! Infact would thank them for generating thousands of jobs for us through the years, I could make a better life here. On that note, I’d just like to make a humble request on behalf of my fellow actors/ friends, other daily wagers that their dues be paid asap especially at a time when they need it the most so that we’re not waking up to more such Suicide Stories a few days or a month later!! I wish to be financially so strong one day that I myself could help people around. I rest my note.
