Editing Rahul Roy (section)

== Career ==
During the early 1990s, Roy worked in several romantic films that did not do well, although his performances in ''[[Majhdhaar]]'', ''[[Dilwale Kabhi Na Hare]]'', ''Pyar Ka Saaya'' and ''Jaanam'' were liked. His best film performance is considered to be in ''[[Junoon (1992 film)|Junoon]]''. In the late 1990s, Roy played supporting actor roles. He got his big break from the 1990 film ''[[Aashiqui]]''. 

After ''Aashiqui'', Roy signed a number of films. Apart from ''Junoon'', most of them did not work. A lot of the films he had signed ended up being shelved.  K.Balachander's project ''Dilon Ka Rishta'' never saw the light due to the death of producer R. C. Prakash; another important project, ''Ayudh'', was hit by the director's untimely death. Among other films shelved were ''Premabhishek'', ''Tune Mera Dil Le Liya'' with [[Raveena Tandon]], N. R. Pachisia's ''Dil Diya Chori Chori'' with [[Karishma Kapoor]], Balwant Dullat's ''Phir Kabhi'', Mahesh Bhatt's ''Kalyug'', [[Harry Baweja]]'s ''Vajra'' with [[Raveena Tandon]] and [[Shilpa Shirodkar]] and ''Jab Jab Dil Mile'' with Karishma Kapoor and Nagma.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/rahul-roy-returns-to-big-screen-with-psychological-thriller-217814-2013-11-17 |title=Rahul Roy returns to big screen with psychological thriller |magazine=India Today |agency=IANS |date=18 November 2013 |access-date=30 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140227101205/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/rahul-roy-returns-to-big-screen-with-psychological-thriller/1/325299.html|archive-date=27 February 2014|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/rahul-roy-returns-to-films-with-to-be-or-not-to-be/1205837/ |title=Rahul Roy returns to films with 'To Be Or Not To Be' |work=Indian Express |agency=PTI |date=10 December 2013 |access-date=30 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304133107/http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/rahul-roy-returns-to-films-with-to-be-or-not-to-be/1205837/ |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref>
