Home- the word in itself brims our hearts with happiness, and after all, home is the place (and possibly the only one) where you always return, no matter what. Home doesn't only mean comfort, being with your family and being at a place which your ancestors have shed their sweat to build it, but it's also about millions of memories, right from your childhood to your death. And you know this feeling if you have been away from your home for too long. Rishi Kapoor is no exception to same.

Rishi ji had further retorted, “My eighth month of treatment started on May 1 in the US. But God has been kind! I am in remission, meaning now I am cancer-free. I will have to do a bone marrow transplant, which in all probability should take another two months minimum. Being in remission is a big thing and it’s all because of my family and my fans prayers and duas that have worked. I thank them all.”

Rishi ji's son, Ranbir Kapoor, during the Zee Cine Awards which concluded recently had talked about his father and had said, “Whenever I speak to him, he only talks about movies. He only talks about ‘how is this film?’, ‘how is this film doing?’, ‘how is this performance?’, what are you doing in this scene? And more so, he speaks to me about his insecurities that when he gets back, will he get to work in movies? Whether people will offer him films? Will he be able to act in movies?”

I am taking a short leave of absence from work to go to America for some medical treatment. I urge my well-wishers not to worry or unnecessarily speculate.
