Last year, Rishi Kapoor stressed his fans when he reported that he would go to New York for treatment. At the time, it was hazy what precisely he was experiencing. It was later uncovered to be cancer.
In an ongoing Meeting to Mumbai Mirror, Rishi Kapoor said that he is "impeccable now" and that the cancer is going away. In any case, he is still under treatment. He said that the issue was not the treatment, however the response time. "There is a six-week gap between one treatment and the next when all you can do is eat, shop, watch movies, live a normal life, which I would rather do at home than here in New York. It has been nine months and 16 days. I know, since I have been counting the days that I have been away. I really miss home."
Asked when he intends to return, he stated, "I have to be here for 11 months, so will not be back before the end of August. It has been a very difficult and taxing time, but Neetu and my children (Ranbir and Riddhima) have been very supportive. I am grateful to everyone. I am waiting to come back and raring to get going. I plan my return five-six weeks after my last treatment. It is called consolidation or pushback, where I have to undergo chemotherapy to ensure that the ailment does not return. This is the second time I'm going through the treatment."
Rishi Kapoor has frequently been visited by a few famous people, including Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri, Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
On the work front, Rishi Kapoor was most recently seen in 102 Not Out with Amitabh Bachchan. He will be seen in Jhootha Kahin Ka next.
