Talking about Rishi Kapoor, the actor moved away to New York in September last year and has been getting treatment for cancer. The actor’s brother Randhir Kapoor and daughter Riddhima recently declared that the actor is now cancer-free. Talking about his health, Rishi Kapoor told Deccan Chronicle earlier, "My eighth month of treatment started on May 1 in the US. But God has been kind! I am in remission, meaning now I am cancer-free. Being in remission is a big thing and it's all because of my family and my fans prayers and duas that have worked. I thank them all. Neetu has stood by me like a rock. Otherwise I am too difficult a person to handle as far as food and drink are concerned."
