'It's
Been
A
Difficult
Time,'
Confides
Rishi
Rishi
told
the
tabloid,
"I
have
to
be
here
for
11
months,
so
I
will
not
be
back
before
the
end
of
August.
It's
been
a
difficult
time,
very
taxing,
but
Neetu
(wife),
and
my
children
(Ranbir
and
Riddhima)
have
been
very
supportive.
I
am
grateful
to
everyone.
I
am
waiting
to
come
back
and
raring
to
get
going."
The
Actor
Dismisses
Reports
Of
Him
Returning
For
His
Birthday
As
'Speculations'
"I
will
plan
my
return
five-six
weeks
after
my
last
treatment.
It
is
called
consolidation
or
pushback,
whereby
I
will
have
to
undergo
chemotherapy
to
ensure
that
the
ailment
does
not
return.
This
is
the
second
time
I
am
going
through
the
treatment.
I
am
hoping
that
I
can
plan
an
end-August
return
but
all
this
talk
that
I
will
be
back
in
early
September
for
my
birthday,
is
again
nothing
but
speculation."
Rishi
Says
His
Family
Stood
By
Him
Like
A
Solid
Rock
"All
my
siblings,
my
children
and
Neetu
in
particular,
who
has
been
like
a
solid
rock,
have
been
around
me,
supporting
me
through
all
this.
Right
now,
my
daughter
and
grand-daughter
are
with
me.
Ranbir
keeps
coming
every
five-six
weeks.
I
am
overjoyed
by
all
the
love
and
concern,
the
solidarity
of
my
family."
These
People
Were
His
&
Neetu's
Anchor
He
further
said,
"Here
I
have
to
make
a
special
mention
of
my
niece
Natasha
and
my
elder
sister
Ritu
Nanda
who
is
also
here
for
the
same
reason.
They
were
our
anchors
who
kept
Neetu
and
me
going.
When
your
anxiety
is
so
high
you
need
this
kind
of
support
and
such
motivational
people
around."
Rishi
Reacts
To
Reports
Of
Him
Being
Miffed
With
Producers
Of
Jhootha
Kahin
Ka
"In
the
last
10
months,
I
have
not
spoken
to
anyone
from
the
media,
though
they
have
always
supported
me.
I
agree
with
Kangana
Ranaut
that
some
people
write
anything
and
as
a
result,
serious
journalists
get
drawn
into
the
controversy.
When
did
I
say
I
was
upset?
I
have
not
been
in
the
country
for
months.
This
is
not
done,
it
tarnishes
the
credibility
of
other
journalists
who
write
and
report
well.
Though
I
do
not
entirely
agree
with
what
Kangana
said,
on
this
point
anyone
can
get
upset,"
the
actor
told
the
leading
daily.
