After months of silence, Rishi Kapoor has given an update regarding his health. The 66-year-old actor, while talking to an entertainment portal, opened up on his illness and treatment.

“My treatment is on, hopefully I will recover soon and God willing I will return. The procedure is long and tedious and one needs immense patience which unfortunately is not one of my virtue,” Rishi told Bollywood Hungama.

The talented actor, who was last seen in ‘Mulk’, also said that he had kept his professional life on hold at the moment.

“Thankfully, I am not thinking about films anymore, just want to be blank and refresh myself with a more relaxed mind. This break shall be therapeutic for me,” Rishi told the portal.

The report in the portal also suggested that if the treatment goes well, the actor will return back to Mumbai by April.

We hope Rishi Kapoor gets well soon.
