Rishi
Kapoor
has
been
getting
treated
for
cancer
in
New
York
for
almost
a
year
now.
He
is
now
in
a
remission
state,
which
means
that
he
is
on
his
way
to
recovery.
But
it
wasn't
an
easy
journey
for
him,
and
his
wife
Neetu
Kapoor
has
been
by
his
side
the
whole
time.
Rishi
expressed
that
if
it
wasn't
for
her,
he
wouldn't
have
gotten
anywhere,
whereas
Neetu
said
that
he
became
like
her
child.
In
an
interview
with
Times
Now
which
is
yet
to
be
aired,
Rishi
expressed
how
much
of
a
support
Neetu
has
been
for
him.
He
said,
"She
has
been
a
rock
of
Gibraltar,
really
really
supported
me
without
her
I
wouldn't
be
getting
anywhere,"
reported
Pinkvilla.
Neetu,
on
the
other
hand,
said
that
she
did
everything
she
could
to
keep
him
out
of
pain."It's
like
I
told
you
he
became
like
my
child
and
I
wanted
to
do
everything
in
my
power
that
he
should
not
be
in
pain,
he
should
get
whatever
he
wants,"
she
said.
Rishi
and
Neetu's
kids,
Ranbir
and
Riddhima
visited
them
in
New
York
quite
a
few
times.
Even
their
friends
from
the
Bollywood
fraternity,
like
Anupam
Kher,
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Aamir
Khan,
Priyanka
Chopra,
and
many
others
made
sure
to
spend
time
with
Rishi
and
Neetu,
whenever
they
found
themselves
in
the
city.
Rishi
has
been
eagerly
waiting
to
return
to
India
as
he
misses
it
terribly.
He
is
hoping
to
be
back
by
the
time
of
Ganesh
Chaturthi
in
early
September.
Speaking
about
the
festival,
he
said,
"Celebrating
Ganpati
is
a
family
tradition.
So,
I
am
hoping
to
be
part
of
it."
