Rishi Kapoor’s unbreakable spirit during cancer treatment

Rishi Kapoor was diagnosed with leukaemia back in 2018. The actor travelled to New York City for treatment, and after a year, made his way back to India in September 2019.

During his time in NYC, Rishi Kapoor found joy in simple pleasures, like indulging in his favourite food and holding onto happiness despite his health struggles.

Neetu Kapoor’s contribution during Rishi Kapoor’s treatment

Throughout his battle, Neetu Kapoor stood by Rishi like a rock. During an interview with Times Now, Neetu Kapor recalled how she would often trick Rishi like a baby so that he would take his medicines on time. She also used to post pictures on Rishi Kapoor’s Instagram to keep up with the spirit of positivity, which not only helped the family but also helped millions of followers gain confidence. Recalling one particular incident, Neetu shared:

“I used to post the pictures on his Instagram just to keep the positivity going. I never put pictures where he was down and out. Once, I was waiting for the elevator in the hospital when he (Rishi) was admitted and a young boy came and told me, ‘My father is going through the same thing and he was very depressed, we kept showing him your pictures and said, ‘See, Rishi Ji is so happy and he is getting treated’, and those pictures made him come here and he wants to go through the treatment. I feel so nice that I helped somebody gain confidence that it can be dealt with.”
