Ailing Bollywood actor Rahul Roy shared on Christmas Day that the only wish he wants Santa to grant him this year is that he recover completely and get back to normal life.
Rahul shared a throwback photograph with his mother, and present-day photographs from the hospital where he is currently admitted to, along with a photo of his Canada-based twin brother Rohit Roy. In the photo, the actor poses wearing a Santa Claus cap and stands beside his sister Pia.
"Merry Christmas to all my fans. Becoming a Santa from the hospital, along with my Mom, Brother Rohit, sister @priyankaroy_pia and brother in law @romeersen. My wish for this year from Santa would be that I recover completely and get back to shoot soon, and the world gets back to normal too. Love you all," Rahul Roy wrote on his verified Instagram account.
About two weeks ago, the actor underwent angiography of the brain and the heart and shared the news with fans on his verified Instagram account.
"21 Days in the hospital and now going for Angiography of the Brain and Heart. Took time out to thank all of you along with my sister @priyankaroy_pia. Love you all," Roy wrote on Friday.
The actor also shared a video where he can be seen sitting beside his sister Pia. While Roy fumbled while trying to speak a sentence, his sister Pia explained: "What he means is that please pray for my brother. We are going for angiography of the brain and heart today. It will be all good. Keep your blessings and prayer with my brother and thank you, everyone, for loving us so much and giving your support. It is so nice to see how much you all love my brother and are constantly praying for his recovery. Thank you once again."
The 52-year-old actor is currently admitted to a private hospital in Mira Road. Roy, who was admitted to Nanavati Hospital earlier, was discharged in the morning of December 8 and admitted to the private hospital the same afternoon.
Rahul Roy reportedly suffered a brain stroke while shooting for his film "LAC: Live The Battle" in Kargil in the last week of November and was rushed back to Mumbai and admitted to Nanavati Hospital. He was later shifted to a Mira Road hospital on December 8, where he is undergoing speech therapy, physiotherapy and other treatments.
