In the past, a number of Bollywood celebs have visited Rishi in New York. They include Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Vicky Kaushal, Karisma Kapoor with her dad Randhir, Aamir Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Anupam Kher, Alia Bhatt and her mom Soni Razdan among others.

Rishi, who left for the US last year in September, or his family members had chosen not to name the nature of his illness. However, in April, director Rahul Rawail posted on Facebook that the actor was ‘cancer-free’. He had written: “RISHI KAPOOR (CHINTU) is CANCER FREE!!!!” It is not clear if the picture is a recent one. When contacted, Rahul told us, “Yes, Rishi is absolutely cancer free, now. I haven’t met him but spoke to him over the phone. He called me in the morning [Tuesday] and gave me the [good] news that he has totally recovered from cancer. There’s just a small follow up and procedure that he needs to get done to ensure that there is no recurrence anytime. So, that’s all that is left now.”

The news was later confirmed by Randhir who told Hindustan Times: “Yes, he is much better, and he will come back soon. [On whether he is completely cured], he’s on his way to full recovery and it takes time, he’s got to finish the whole course, but he’s fine.”
