In the comment section of the fancam video posted by an X user, fans complimented Roll’s class act, with one admirer saying, “He’s one artist I have utmost respect for. He came from nothing.” Another X user added, “Love this dude. This was a heartwarming moment. He is so talented.” A third person simply said they are now a “fan of Jelly Roll.”

This interaction, however, wasn’t the first time Roll went out of his way to help a fan battling cancer. Last year, the James Bass Foundation, an organization that helps grant the wishes of patients facing terminal illness, detailed the wish of a 65-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with stage 4 small cell carcinoma. On TikTok for the foundation, per The Mirror, the lady shared that her final wish was to meet the Son of a Sinner singer and see him perform live.

Roll’s wife, Bunnie XO, took notice of the post and commented, “We can def make this happen.” Soon after, Roll and his wife met with Durham — who shared a similar journey as Roll in defeating addiction to help those struggling with it.

Videos captured from their meetup showed the musician and the cancer patient interacting for the first time with a hug, as well as Roll, playing some of his songs for her. “I’m glad I could come to visit you. This is cool,” the singer said.

Soon after the video surfaced, the internet couldn’t stop gushing over him. A fan wrote, “This kid just look well mannered” and another fan remarked that he could be a part of an international project as he wrote, “He can play the role of Superman..Series..in Hollywood..Resemblance..”

In addition to this, several fans dropped red-heart and heart-eye emojis in the comments section.

During a conversation with Shikhar Dhawan’s talk show, Dhawan Karenge earlier this year, the Khel Khel Mein actor had given insight into his son’s life. Despite coming from a privileged background, the actor revealed that his son likes to live a simple life.

“My son Aarav is studying at the university in London. He left home at the age of 15. He was always fond of studying and wanted to stay alone. It was his decision to move, even though I didn’t want him to go. However, I could not stop him because I left my home at the age of 14… He does his own laundry, he is a good cook, does the utensils and doesn’t even want to buy expensive clothes. In fact, he goes to a second-hand store, Thrifty, to buy clothes because he doesn’t believe in wastage.”

Akshay and Twinkle welcomed their first child, son Aarav, in 2002; their daughter Nitara was born in 2012.
