Rishi Kapoor Addresses Hospitalization Reports: Nothing Dramatic, Pollution Got Me I Guess

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor on Sunday said he is suffering from an infection and is undergoing treatment for it.

There were reports that the 67-year-old actor, who is in the capital to attend a family function, has been admitted in a hospital.

"I have had an infection which am getting treated.," Kapoor told PTI.

Multiple media reports claimed that the actor's son, Ranbir Kapoor, who was in Mumbai, rushed to Delhi to be with his father along with girlfriend Alia Bhatt. They all missed the mehndi ceremony for Armaan Jain and Anisha Malhotra which had the Kapoor family in attendance. 

Kapoor returned to India in September 2019 after undergoing treatment for cancer in the US for almost a year and the sudden news of his hospitalization was certainly worrisome for fans. The clarification certainly puts a stop to further speculations. 

The actor recently announced his next project, a remake of the Anne Hathway and Robert De Niro starrer Hollywood film "The Intern", in which he will feature alongside Deepika Padukone. The film will release in 2021.
