The demise of businessman and producer CJ Roy has sent a shock wave all over Kerala. The 57-year-old was found dead at his office in Langford Town on Friday after sustaining a gunshot injury. Soon after the news is out, social media is filled with tributes for the departed soul.


Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 runner-up Aneesh has also penned an emotional note on social media remembering the special recognition Roy has given him after the show.


"I was going through a tough time then. I was speechless when a majority of the people I knew kept asking me, 'Why didn't you get it?' Honestly, I didn't have any clue. Every time I hear this, I struggle to hold myself from the pain. While I was going through all these, Roy Sir was the one who held me close. His words still echo in my ears. I shall never forget standing next to him and feeling all his love. My heart is breaking. "Adieu, Roy, sir," reads the translation of Aneesh's post.




Aneesh's post is filled with comments where netizens say that they thought about the same moment when they heard the news of Roy's demise.



For the unversed, soon after the finale of Bigg Boss Malayalam 7, CJ Joy, who sponsored the prize money for the season’s title winner, surprised Aneesh by gifting him ₹10 lakh as a token of appreciation. Joy stated that although Aneesh entered the show as a commoner, he managed to earn significant attention and respect through his gameplay, personality, and resilience. This, he said, motivated his team to felicitate the contestant personally.


Along with Aneesh, many TV celebs have also paid tribute to CJ Roy on social media.


Actor and Bigg Boss Malayalam host Mohanlal wrote, 'The loss of my dear friend CJ Roy feels unreal and deeply painful. My heart goes out to his family in this time of immense grief. He was more than a friend; he will always be remembered with love and warmth'.


Aneesh entered Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 as a commoner contestant. Though he received much criticism for his game initially, over the season, Aneesh managed to win hearts with his nature.
