We grow up watching someone, singing his songs, feeling his presence on screen, and then we sit and judge him over a few seconds of a reel. I had the privilege of working with Rahul Roy sir, and I say this with full honesty, the experience was nothing but smooth, sincere and deeply professional.

He came prepared, he gave his all, and he delivered as an actor.

We didn’t cast him out of sympathy. We cast him because he fit the part and he did full justice to it. Yes, life threw a tough phase his way. But the dignity with work, ready to create, deserves respect, not ridicule. There is nothing small about wanting to work. There is nothing 'cringe' about showing up and owning your craft. There is only honesty in it. Full respect to you Rahul sir. From our side, nothing but support and many more collaborations ahead. "By sharing this message Aashiesh spoke from his own experience.
