Rahul Roy's never ending Aashiqui
By: Chaitanya Padukone
April 13, 2007

Has done quite a number of autumn-meets-spring roles long before Amitabh Bachchan did so in Nishabd

Age No Bar: Rahul Roy
Post his Bigg Boss win, Rahul Roy claims to be venturing into construction of shopping malls and even turning 'brand ambassador' of smart cards.

No, he hasn't given up on acting! Roy is also busy with the dubbing of his two English called Dated and Soul Rain made by a banner called Art-is-kinky!

Says Roy Boy, "Strangely, I happen to be the only Asian in the otherwise all-foreign cast in both these movies." The actor is presently shooting for his movie Adaa.

"Unlike my recent lot of movies, I am proud of Adaa being directed by Tanvir Ahmed. That's because it has A R Rahman's score and the movie speaks about Sufism and gangsterism.

My character is a professor from Lucknow who follows Sufism. It's an endearing story of a father and son," reveals Roy.

Patience is the key

The actor is being accused of 'acting pricey' after winning the reality show. He admits, "Well it' quite true. Out of a dozen movie offers that I got, I approved only two.

I have resolved not to sign any regional movies or act in television serials for the time being. And people misunderstand that I am playing hard-to-get.

In fact, I have even kept my movie direction plans on hold. Bigg Boss has taught me that patience eventually pays," he counters.

Not embarrassed

For someone who began with A-list films, Roy has worked in too many C-grade films of late. And at least two have similar roles to what Amitabh Bachchan played in Nishabd.

In Meri Aashiqui, a friend of his teenaged daughter, falls madly in love with him. And in Aashiqon Ko Jalaana Buri Baat Hai he has his teenage neighbour (Gladrags finalist Riya Sahota) getting besotted with him.

"I am not embarrassed by the kind of movies I acted in, prior to my reality show, because I didn't have a platform and I couldn't be extra-choosy those days.

Considering my age and romantic image, those roles fell into my lap. But now I have moved on," justifies the actor.

Feeling hounored

His take on his Nishabd-esque roles is, "Although we are not ready to accept the syndrome, it's a harsh reality of society that does discreetly exist.

In fact, I salute both RGV and Amitji for having dared to make such a bold subject like Nishabd, regardless of the box-office response.

The basic storyline and a few situations seem to be common but the treatment of their film is distinctly different.

I feel honoured that I attempted a similar role which our country's greatest actor has portrayed so convincingly," smiles Roy who will be shortly visiting his wife Rajlaxmi in Sydney.
