Randhir spoke to News18 and said, "It's true that he has been admitted to the hospital. He is in Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital. He was not keeping well and had some problem, so we admitted him early this morning." He further added, "He will be alright. Neetu (Kapoor) is by his side."
Dismissing the rumours of being on a ventilator, Randhir 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.”
He was also admitted at a hospital in Mumbai, this February when he suffered an infection, which he then mentioned on social media, stating that it was because of the pollution when he was shooting in Delhi.
He took to Twitter and said, "Dear family, friends, foes and followers. I have been overwhelmed by all your concern about my health. Thank you. I have been filming in Delhi past 18 days and because of the pollution and my low count of neutrophils, I caught an infection whereby I had to be hospitalised."
In September 2019, Rishi was diagnosed with cancer was being treated at a hospital in the US for a year. He returned in 2019 and his wife Neetu Kapoor stood by him while he was fighting the deadly disease.
