In a statement released by Rishi’s family, they urged everyone to respect the laws of the lockdown. “In this hour of personal loss, we also recognise the world is going through a very difficult and troubled time. There are numerous restrictions around movement and gathering in public. We would like to request all his fans and well-wishers and friends of the family to please respect the laws that are in force,” the statement said.

Rishi was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 and travelled to New York for treatment. He returned to Mumbai in September last year, and announced that he was ‘cancer-free’. He was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday after his health deteriorated.
