It’s been 10 months, since veteran actor is in New York for the medical treatment of deadly C. The actor, who is accompanied by wife and actress Neetu Kapoor, often sees Bollywood celebs paying a visit at the NYC apartment to see the actor. Not only the actor, Ranbir Kapoor along with girlfriend Alia Bhatt are often spotted dashing off to New York to spend some time with them. During a recent interview, when Rishi Kapoor was asked about his return to India after his fight with cancer, he said his “batteries are all charged and is looking forward to face the cameras.”
In a candid interview with Hindustan Times, Rishi Kapoor said, “I miss work more than ever now. I’ve never had such a big break in my life and I’ve been working for 45 years. By the time I get back, it will be 11 months and it has been very long. But in a way I feel very fresh and geared up to do any kind of work. My batteries are all charged and I’m looking forward to facing the camera. I just hope I haven’t forgotten acting. Right now, I don’t know if my work will be welcomed or if people are going to trash me. When I was going through treatment, I had a few blood transfusions. And I told Neetu that I hope with the new blood, I haven’t forgotten acting.”
“For the first five months I was barely tweeting because I was in the hospital going through treatment. Only now I am much better and free of cancer. It’s in remission so it’s just a natural process. But I feel indebted to everyone who came to see me. I have no words to express the love, prayers and blessings I’ve had from my fans and friends through messages and various people. I have no words to express my joy.”
Talking about how difficult it had been getting medically
treated far away from home, he said, “One does not expect all this but you have
to go through the process. You can’t just be mourning and not doing anything
about it. You have to take charge of life and get things in control and deal
with it. A lot of credit goes to my wife Neetu who has been there as rock all
through my medical wants and procedures. It’s been very time consuming. It
would have been a different scenario if I was in India. My home is there, my
family is there. But it’s a tough situation because you’re not home, you are in
a different territory. But it has been dealt with. Not that we couldn’t have
dealt with it in India but I had a certain problem that could only be dealt
with here."
