In 1983, Roy met Sandeep Patil on the set of "Kabhie Ajnabi The" and reportedly, the actress got involved into an affair with the cricketer who was already married at that time. She was rumoured to be the sole reason for the failure of Patil's first marriage. She claimed that she was a good friend to Patil and nothing beyond that. She filed a lawsuit against an article on her, published in the September 1983 edition of Stardust magazine since the article claimed that she was married to Patil. In 1985, soon after the release of "Kabhie Ajnabi The", they discontinued their relationship and never publicly discussed anything about their separation.
