The senior was in the capital city for the past few days and was shooting for his next. However, air quality and high pollution levels might have affected his health.

Reportedly, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt visited Delhi after Kapoor senior was admitted to a hospital for his check-up.

Rishi Kapoor was in New York City for almost a year undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. In September 2019, he returned back hale and hearty, accompanied by wife and veteran actress Neetu Kapoor.
