Veteran actor Ashiesh Roy, who is popularly known for Byomkesh Bakshi (1993), Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi (2016), Sasural Simar Ka, Remix, Banegi Apni Baat and MP3: Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar (2007), among others, has been hospitalised to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital after he suffered a paralytic stroke that rendered the left side of his body immobile, reported  Spotboye. The reports further suggest that the veteran actor has a clot in his brain.  Apparently, Ashiesh was supposed to report for a shoot but when his driver arrived to pick him up, he found Ashiesh was unable to move his left arm. The driver immediately rushed him to CritiCare Hospital at Juhu in Mumbai. #MeToo In Bollywood: Alok Nath Named & Shamed Again; Renuka Shahane Gives Her Side Of The Story!

Confirming the news, writer-producer Vinta Nanda took to social media to share an update about Ashiesh's health condition. She wrote on her official Facebook page, "URGENT: Ashiesh Roy I’m told by Promita Mukherjee is in #ICU at #CriticareHospital in #Juhu. Does anybody have contact with his family? Please connect with Promita. Cine & TV Artistes’ Association Amit Behl Odie Khan Suneel Sinha."

Meanwhile, CINTAA joint secretary Amit Behl, in a statement to Bollywood Life, said, "He had a paralytic stroke on the left side. The driver reached in the morning to pick him up but he couldn’t move. So the driver got him into CritiCare, but they were not admitting him, because there was no consent from the family. Then our zonal head Tina Ghai reached over there, she called the doctor and got him admitted. The medication has started."

Reportedly, this is Ashiesh's second paralytic stroke in two years. Talking about it to the website, Ghai said, "When the driver reached his house this morning, Ashiesh told him that his left arm is locked. This is the second time in just two years that he has got a paralytic stroke. He is not on a ventilator but his left side has been affected. He is talking and is aware of what has happened. A brain scan has been done, the report by evening will determine the future course of action."

In the Spotboye report, a source was quoted as saying, "Naturally, it is not a small thing. Second stroke in less than 2 years. Ashiesh needs to be extremely careful about his health hereafter. Hope he comes out of this, like he did last time." Ashiesh has been part of the showbiz industry for more than two decades. We wish the actor a speedy recovery.
