Rahul, naam toh suna hoga! Well, long before Shah Rukh Khan could make this a cult line, there was another Rahul that was popular. Well, in the 90s came a one-hit wonder, Rahul Roy and his Aashiqui garnered a lot of love too.
Decades later, he is still known as the Aashiqui guy, even though he won first edition of Bigg Boss. Cut to 2017, he’s taken on a new role and is all set to be a politician. BJP just announced Rahul Roy joining their camp.

He cited how it is our PM Modi who inspired him to take up politics.
The reason I am joining BJP is obvious, the way Narendra Modi Ji has been working for the progress of the country globally is remarkable: Actor Rahul Roy on joining BJP.
