Randhir Kapoor reacts strongly to reports of Rishi Kapoor suffering from cancer
Speculation mounted over Rishi Kapoor’s health after he was not seen at the cremation ceremony of his mother Krishna Raj Kapoor.
Mumbai, Oct 4, 2018: Randhir Kapoor on Wednesday rubbished reports that suggested his brother Rishi Kapoor has been diagnosed with stage III cancer. Speculation mounted over Rishi’s health after he was not seen at the cremation ceremony of his mother Krishna Raj Kapoor.
Randhir, in an interaction with ET, 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.”
On Saturday, Rishi had informed fans that he was heading to the US for some medical treatment. Before his ‘well-wishers’ could speculate or jump onto some conclusions, he asked them to not unnecessarily speculate.
He had tweeted, “Hello all! I am taking a short leave of absence from work to go to America for some medical treatment. I urge my well-wishers not to worry or unnecessarily speculate. It’s been 45 years “plus “of wear and tear at the movies. With your love and good wishes, I will be back soon!” (sic)
