Rishi Kapoor is one happy man these days as he's all set to return to Mumbai after a long gap of 11 months. It was in September 2018 when Rishi had tweeted about his short absence and how he'd be going to America for some medical treatment. Though the details of his same treatment were unknown then, it was later revealed that he was suffering from cancer. Post his 10 months treatment, the actor is now fit and fine to resume his work and he is on his way to India already. Rishi Kapoor Says Wife Neetu Kapoor Has Been a Rock in His Battle with Cancer.
