Actor Rahul Roy, who suffered a brain stroke last month, is recovering “very well”, Wockhardt Hospitals said on Thursday. The “Aashiqui” star was earlier admitted to the intensive care unit of Nanavati Hospital here on November 27 after he arrived from a shoot in Kargil. The 52-year-old actor is currently recuperating at Wockhardt Hospitals in the suburban Mira Road area.

The actor also took to Instagram and posted a picture of himself having breakfast at the hospital. “Watching the match while having breakfast at the hospital. Love you all,” Roy captioned the photo as he tuned into the opening day of the first Test match between India and Australia in Adelaide.

Last week, Roy shared a health update in a video on social media and thanked fans for their prayers.

“I am recovering. And thanks to all my friends, family and fans who are also like my family for pouring so much of love and prayers for me. Will be back soon. Love you all,” read the caption of the video.

Roy made his Bollywood debut in the Mahesh Bhatt-directed musical romance hit “Aashiqui” in 1990 and went on to work with the filmmaker on films like “Junoon” and “Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee”.

The actor also won the first season of the popular TV reality show “Bigg Boss” in 2006.
