The videos have triggered a mixed response online, with a large section of fans rallying in his support and urging others to view his journey with empathy and understanding.
Viral Reels Divide the Internet
The videos, shared by Instagram user Dr. Vanita Ghadhage Desai, feature Rahul Roy recreating moments from his iconic romantic tracks such as Tere Dar Par Sanam and Dheere Dheere Se. While some users found the content unusual or awkward, many others chose to focus on the human side of the actor's journey and the bond he shares with the woman featured in the clips.
As expected, the reels quickly gained traction, with netizens sharing a wide range of opinions—some critical, others deeply supportive. Several users highlighted the context behind the videos, pointing out the meaningful relationship between Rahul and the doctor who treated him after a severe health crisis.
One Instagram user commented, “Forgive him for his grammatical mistakes. That lady is a doctor by profession who treated Rahul when he suffered a brain stroke. She played a vital role in healing him completely.” Another wrote, “One of the most romantic actors and songs is still giving romantic vibes.” A third user added, “I think she treated him and now checks on him—how he is responding to the treatment.”
