Rishi Kapoor finally wins the battle with cancer; says, 'God has been kind'
Bollywood fans went into shock when they came to know about the news of veteran actor Rishi Kapoor suffering from cancer post Irrfan Khan and Sonali Bendre. A lot of pictures kept on circulating on the internet for almost an year showing the actor undergoing treatment in New York. Finally the good news of his remission has finally been announced from the actor's mouth that has given a sigh of relief to the fans.
In the month of September 2018, the actor took to his social media to announce that he will be taking a leave from work to undergo a medical treatment in America. He urged his fans not to worry about him and made them believe that he will come back fine and healthy. Few days back it was Rishi's close friend, Rahul Rawail who took to social media to announce that the actor is recovering really fast and will be cancer free.
And now in an interview that the actor gave to Deccan Chronicle, he opened up about his disease and said that his eighth month of treatment began on May 1 in the US and he is in remission and cancer-free. He even said that God has been kind with him. He also revealed that there are some more medical procedures to be followed and said, "I will have to do a bone marrow transplant, which in all probability should take another two months minimum. 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.”
The actor even spoke about his wife Neetu Kapoor who stood by him like a rock and even his children Ranbir Kapoor and Ridhima Kapoor who shouldered all his problems. He said that his wife took great care of her even though he is a difficult person to handle as far as food and drink are concerned.
He further thanked God for the gift of life and said that he has finally learned the art of patience. He said, “A person like me who has never had patience, this is God’s way to teach me patience. Getting well is a slow procedure. But it makes you grateful for the gift of life.”
We hope to see the actor in healthy spirits really soon. Stay tuned for more such updates!
