Ashiesh Roy: Will have to stop my dialysis because I will be left with no money

TV actor Ashiesh Roy has been suffering from kidney-related ailments for months now. Recently, he was discharged from the hospital as he could not pay the bills. In an interview with Times of India, the actor said that he has to undergo surgery, which costs Rs 1 lakh but has no money for it.

He told the publication, “I had to take discharge from the hospital because I had no money to pay for the daily expenses of the hospital. Also with Covid-19 the risk of infection is high so it’s better that I visit hospital only for my dialysis, so I can either afford dialysis or the hospital expenses.”

He said that he goes through dialysis 4 times a week and each dialysis costs him Rs 2000 and slowly all his money is getting over and he thinks very soon he will have to stop his dialysis because he will be left with no money. Doctors have told him that his kidneys have been damaged and he needs a kidney transplant.

“Right now I am thinking of kidney transplant because I can’t simply use all my money for dialysis. But kidney transplant is a tedious and long process till it happens I will have to survive on dialysis and also because of the growing cases of COVID-19, there is a high risk of infection so I can’t even opt for kidney transplant now. It is a very expensive proposition so the kidney transplant is the permanent solution,” he said.

He has also thanked his industry and college friends who helped him in this difficult time.

Ashiesh Roy worked in shows like ‘Sasural Simar Ka’, ‘Jeannie Aur Juju’ and ‘Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi’ to name a few.
