Speculations around Rishi Kapoor's health have been doing the rounds ever since the veteran actor took off to New York for an undisclosed treatment. Recently wife Neetu Kapoor shared an inside picture from their New Year celebrations in New York. It showed a seemingly weak Rishi dining with son Ranbir, his girlfriend Alia Bhatt and daughter Riddhima, among others.
The caption of the photo read, “Happy 2019 no resolutions only wishes this year !!! Less pollution traffic!! Hope in future cancer is only a zodiac sign !!! No hatred less poverty loads of love togetherness happiness n most imp. Good health.”
Her post once again left his fans and colleagues worried and speculating about the health of the 66-year-old. However, Rishi's brother Randhir has now denied the reports of him suffering from cancer. He told Hindustan Times, “I don’t know much about it but this much I can tell you that [Rishi] is doing well, that’s all.”
He added, “Let people say whatever they want to. That he is doing well is evident from the photos that I, too, have seen. He is having a good time with everyone and has even stepped out to enjoy a good meal with everyone. He will soon be coming back to India. We are looking forward to that right now.”
Rishi Kapoor was last seen on the silver screen in 'Mulk'. Before leaving for New York he had tweeted, “I am taking a short leave of absence from work to go to America for some medical treatment.” The actor also missed his mother Krishna Raj Kapoor's funeral in India, which was held a few days after his medical treatment started in NYC.
