Few days ago Rishi Kapoor tweeted that he is leaving for US for the treatment because of his ill health, and he even said that he will be back soon. Yeterday his mother Krishna Raj Kapoor passed away due to cardiac arrest. Rishi’s son Ranbir Kapoor and wife Neetu Singh couldn’t attend her funeral as they are in US with the actor. An online portal Bollywood Bubble claims that the actor is suffering from stage three cancer.

A source close to Kapoor family shared,"Flown to the US for treatment. The doctors have called him in for a 45-day treatment that includes chemotherapy sessions too. Rishi along with Neetu, Ranbir are currently staying there and now Ranbir will have to come back to begin shooting for his films. Which is when Ridhima Kapoor Sahni will be travelling to be with mom and dad. It’s a trying time for the veteran actor.”

Now his brother Randhir Kapoor opens up on this news to TOI and said,"We don’t know yet what is the exact nature of his ailment. Rishi himself doesn’t know what he’s suffering from. He has not even started undergoing tests there; how can people speculate that he has cancer and that too, 

one that has escalated to advanced stage. Let him undergo tests peacefully; whatever the results we will let everyone know. He only reached America two-three days ago and so far he was being prepared for the tests that he has to undergo. Depending on what the results are, his line of treatment, medication and other modalities will be decided upon. It’s not fair to speculate things just like that."

We hope his speedy recovery!
