Rishi Kapoor knew that people will assume themselves and speculate about his disease, so he clearly told the fans not to speculate. However, despite that people didn't stop and they still speculated about his health in many manners and some even suggested that he is being diagnosed with cancer.
Now Randhir Kapoor, elder brother of Rishi Kapoor told TOI, "We don’t know yet what is the exact nature of his ailment. Rishi himself doesn’t know what he’s suffering from. He has not even started undergoing tests there. how can people speculate that he has cancer and that too, one that has escalated to an advanced stage. Let him undergo tests peacefully; whatever the results, we will let everyone know. He only reached America two-three days ago and so far, he was being prepared for the tests that he has to undergo. Depending on what the results are, his line of treatment, medication and other modalities will be decided upon. It’s not fair to speculate things just like that."
Significantly, on 1st October, Randhir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor lost their mother Krishna Raj Kapoor at the age of 87 due to cardiac arrest. Rishi Kapoor who is London with her wife Neetu Kapoor and son Ranbir Kapoor were not able to come at Krishna Raj Kapoor's funeral
