Sasural Simar Ka actor Ashiesh Roy has been in the hospital for the past many days and struggling to get by. The actor, who is effectively broke, has been asking for monetary help from his friends and fans by posting updates on Facebook. Roy needs enough to pay his hospital bills and get discharged so he can return home.
In an interview with ETimes, Ashiesh Roy shared, "I was already facing a money crunch and the situation has worsened owing to the lockdown. I had savings of Rs 2 lakh, which I spent during the first two days of being hospitalised. First, I was tested for COVID-19, which cost me around Rs 11,000, followed by other expenses." He then spent Rs 90,000 for a single round of dialysis.
