Roy said that he met Bhatt for the first time at his office in Juhu. “I didn’t know anyone from the film industry,” Roy said. “Within 4 to 6 minutes of our first meeting, he told me I would be doing the film.”

He recalled, “After Aashiqui’s release, Mahesh and Mukesh accompanied me to Metro Cinema. Outside, people cheered for me. I didn’t have bodyguards then. Inside the theatre, people threw coins when my character was introduced with the song ‘Saanson Ki Jarurat Hai Jaise.’ I called Mr Mahesh and expressed my gratitude.”

Roy said that after the release of Aashiqui, he was flooded with offers from filmmakers. He said that he signed 47 films within 11 days. Roy also revealed that his paycheck for Aashiqui was Rs 30,000. 

For the unversed, Aashiqui was a landmark film in Indian cinema. It was a rare film to successfully blend the genres of romance and music, and it helped launch the careers of Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal. 

Speaking of Roy, his brain stroke in 2020 was a major setback for him. But he is currently recovering and back to work.
