Past many months have not been very great for Bollywood in terms of the health of many celebs who keep the show running. So, of course, any new announcement by an actor seeking medical treatment is scary. Rishi Kapoor is the latest one to tweet about heading out to USA for medical treatment. In a vaguely worded tweet that he posted today, he wrote, "Hello all! I am taking a short leave of absence from work to go to America for some medical treatment."

While we do not know anything about the ailment he is seeking treatment for, the second part of Rishi's tweets says that it is nothing to worry about. He adds, "I urge my well wishers not to worry or unnecessarily speculate. It’s been 45 years “plus”of wear and tear at the movies. With your love and good wishes,I will be back soon!" We wonder if he will be active on his beloved social media platform, Twitter, or not. RK Studios Last Ganesh Chaturthi: Ranbir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor and Others Bid an Emotional Good Bye At The Last Visarjan Procession (Watch Videos).

Earlier in January 2016, Rishi had talked about visiting a hospital. He had written, "Well, thank you all for your wishes. Just that was in the hospital for a minor procedure. Back home now tired, drained out, weary to party,” Sachin Tendulkar Wishes Actor Rishi Kapoor on 66th Birthday, Calls Him a Truly Versatile Actor.

BTW, back in July 2018, Ranbir had talked about he got into the habit of drinking alcohol referring to it as genetic. "I don’t have a drinking addiction but yes I have a tendency to drink a lot. When I start, I don’t stop. I guess it’s in my blood; you know how my family is. They are all very fond of alcohol. So, yes it’s in my genes to drink,” the actor had said while talking to a health magazine.

We hope Rishi gets well soon and returns to Mumbai.
