Bollywood veteran Rishi Kapoor clarified on Sunday that he is down with an infection and is being given medical attention for the same. Earlier, unconfirmed reports stated that the actor had to be admitted to a hospital in the city after he arrived here for a family function. The 67-year-old actor was quoted in ndtv.com as saying that he was undergoing treatment for an infection. Pollution in the Capital could be the reason for the condition.
According to the news18.com, a close family member said: "Chintuji was to attend a family function in Delhi when he suddenly had to be hospitalised. He was accompanied by his wife Neetu Kapoor. On hearing of his father's health issue, Rishi's son Ranbir also flew to Delhi." (Also read: Rishi Kapoor shares throwback picture with Lata Mangeshkar, calls it priceless)
Unconfirmed reports stated Ranbir was accompanied by his friend Alia Bhatt.
Ranbir and Alia were supposed to perform at Ranbir's cousin Armaan Jain's mehendi ceremony, but according to pinkvilla.com the plans were cancelled because Ranbir had to fly to Delhi.
It can be recalled that Rishi Kapoor returned to India in September 2019 after undergoing treatment for cancer in the US for almost a year. After returning to India, he had said in an interview, "I had lost 26 kgs as I had no appetite for the first four months. Now, I've gained seven-eight kilos. I don't want to look too lean, but I haven't gone back to my original self either. Thank god for that."
The actor recently announced his next project, Hindi remake of the Hollywood film The Intern, in which he will feature alongside Deepika Padukone. (Also read: After Love Aaj Kal, Deepika Padukone teams up with Rishi Kapoor for the Indian adaptation of The Intern)
