Actor Ashiesh Roy, known for his work in Sasural Simar Ka and Raja Natwarlal, has been admitted to the ICU in a Mumbai hospital.

The actor has asked for financial help.

“I am in the ICU… Very ill. Dialysis,” he first wrote on Facebook, followed by another post that read, “Need your urgent money for dialysis (sic).”

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta on Tuesday took to Twitter and requested film bodies to provide financial assistance to Ashiesh Roy.

“Actor Ashish Roy (Bond) is seriously ill, on dialysis and in the ICU. He has appealed for financial help on FB. I’m doing all I can to help. Can industry associations also help the ailing actor?” Mehta tweeted.
