Filmmaker Nitin Kumar Gupta, who directed Rahul Roy in his yet-to-release film LAC: Live The Battle, recently announced that Roy is expected to return to the sets for Gupta's next film, Stroke. However, the announcement has not gone well with Rahul's sister Priyanka Roy and her husband Romeer Sen. The couple has accused the filmmaker of seeking publicity from the entire incident, saying, "Nitin is dancing on our tragedy."
In an interview with ETimes, Rahul's sister Priyanka said, "It was only through a brigadier that my brother Rohit (Rahul's twin in the US) arranged six commandos to go and see Rahul in Kargil, and it was only post that, Rahul was airlifted to Srinagar and flown back to Mumbai. When I saw him at the Mumbai airport in a wheelchair, the girl who was accompanying him went away even before I had blinked. I came to know about Rahul's speech problem only when I spoke to him on the phone on November 23. He was only mumbling a few words and mostly saying 'Bad, it's bad' before I called up Rohit to tell him about it. The commandos reached Kargil on 26th and Rahul was brought to Mumbai on 27th. We reached the brigadier, courtesy one of our uncles in the army. Nitin called me on 26th and prior to that, he was not responding to my calls. This is a very sad, heartbreaking announcement in our trying times that Rahul will act in Nitin's next titled 'Stroke'."
