Ashiesh Roy reels under financial crunch; says 'Have to stop dialysis as I have no money'

The unprecedented lockdown extension has seen many actors come out and openly speak about the financial dilemma they are reeling under. In an interview with a leading news daily, actor Ashiesh Roy, who is known for his work in television soap dramas like Sasural Simar Ka, spoke about his kidney infection and he might have to soon stop dialysis as he has no resources left to fund the process. Ashiesh Roy also revealed that he urgently needs a surgery that costs Rs 1 lakh, however, he has no funds for the same.

Ashiesh revealed that he is on the path to recovery as most of the excess water in his body has been removed, however, the doctors have inserted a temporary catheter into his neck, which will be shifted to a different side after ten dialysis sessions. Speaking about the cost of the process, Ashiesh remarked that finance is his biggest worry and that he is currently facing ‘a great financial crisis’. Adding to the same, Ashiesh Roy admitted that he must go for four dialysis sessions a week, with each session costing him ₹ 2000, which is slowly draining all his funds.
