Mumbai, Aug 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) Actor Rahul Roy recalled how he used to observe Pooja Bhatt, Anupam Kher, and Vinod Khanna before making his grand Bollywood debut with 'Aashiqui', alongside Anu Aggarwal.

Rahul recently appeared on the dance reality show 'India’s Best Dancer Season 5', where he revealed that he used to spend time on the sets of Mahesh Bhatt's directorial "Daddy" and used to quietly observe several established actors such as Pooja Bhatt, Anupam Kher, and Vinod Khanna, soaking in everything around him before facing the camera himself.

“So when I went there, he was filming 'Daddy' film, so Pooja Bhatt, Vinod Khanna and Anupam Kher were there. I used to sit on the chair, and I used to see all these guys acting, kaise karte hain," he shared.

Rahul further shed light on his first acting experience. He revealed that he had no real understanding of what acting involved but simply gave every scene his 100%.

Rahul shared, “Hairstyle maine London mein hairstylist Colleen se karwaya tha. Uske baad main Mumbai aaya aur modelling kar raha tha. Meri maa UNICEF mein kaam karti thi aur usi dauraan unki Mahesh Bhatt se baat hui.”
