Moloy Roy (Bengali: মলয় রায়) is an Indian bodybuilder, a recipient of the Arjuna Award, and a winner (several times) of both the Mr. India and the Mr. Asia titles. He has also acted in Indian films.
Moloy Roy was born into a family of bodybuilders. His father Monotosh Roy was not only a well-known bodybuilder in his time, but the first Asian (and thus, of course, the first Indian) to hold the Mr. Universe title,[1] which he won in the Group III Amateur Division in 1951.[2][3][4]
Roy started exercising at an early age, inspired by his father; many other bodybuilders visited his house regularly, including his father's mentor Bishnu Charan Ghosh, and their encouragement helped him as well.
