Yesterday, Rishi's elder brother Randhir Kapoor told PTI, "He is in the hospital. He is suffering from cancer and he has some breathing problem, so he has been admitted to the hospital. He is stable now."

After diagnosing with cancer, Rishi went to New York for treatment. From Arjun Kapoor to Alia Bhatt, many actors visited them during his treatment. He came back, last year.

The news is indeed a great shock for his fans.

Rishi signed a film with Deepika Padukone, which was the Hindi remake of Hollywood film, The Intern.

The actor is survived with his wife Neetu Kapoor, son Ranbir and daughter Riddhima.
