In 2008, the actor had suffered a brain stroke which followed with a paralytic attack when he was shooting for a film in Gujarat. He was found profusely bleeding the next morning, after he fell in the middle of the night. The next day, the actor was operated and since then he was bed-ridden. However, his wife could not afford the medical expenses and they then relocated from Mumbai to Jaisalmer and later shifted to Jaipur for his treatment.

The actor’s wife Shobha approached the Cine and TV Artists Association for financial help but was left disappointed. Actors, Irrfan Khan, Aamir Khan and Manoj Bajpayee were the ones from the industry who provided financial help to Vyas. Aamir not just helped them financially but also visited the actor when he was shooting for the film PK in Jaipur.
