Rahul Roy’s rise to fame was swift, with Aashiqui turning him into an overnight sensation. He went on to feature in films like Junoon, Dilwale Kabhi Na Hare and Gumrah, though sustained box office success proved elusive. Years later, he returned to public attention after winning the first season of Bigg Boss in 2007, and has since continued to take on selective projects, including the film Cabaret.
