Actor Ashiesh Roy seriously ill, requests for financial help on the internet

These are challenging times -- with coronavirus pandemic having brought our lives to a standstill. 

In this, actor Ashiesh Roy who is best known for his work in Indian TV serials has been admitted to the ICU in a Mumbai hospital. 

In a Facebook post, Ashiesh urged for financial help before getting admitted as he revealed that he is “seriously ill”. He wrote, “I am in the ICU… Very ill. Dialysis,” followed by another post in which he wrote, “Need your urgent money for dialysis (sic).”

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta on Tuesday took to Twitter and requested film bodies to provide financial assistance to Ashiesh Roy. He wrote, “Actor Ashish Roy (Bond) is seriously ill, on dialysis and in the ICU. He has appealed for financial help on FB. I’m doing all I can to help. Can industry associations also help the ailing actor?”

In the tweet, Hansal tagged actor Sushant Singh, who is the general secretary of Cine and Television Artists Association (CINTAA) and Ashoke Pandit of Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE).
