Rishi Kapoor revealed in the interview that he is on his way to recovery after successful treatment of bone marrow cancer. Talking about how she reacted to Rishi’s cancer, Neetu Kapoor said, “My first reaction was, obviously very bad, I was devastated, my kids were devastated. We didn’t know what to do. But then we thought to ourselves that this is it, we have to deal with it. Where he (Rishi) is concerned, he was in denial. For 4-5 months, he was not himself. I think when you start accepting that this is your issue, then you are stronger. I feel he is much stronger for the past, maybe 5-6 months.

Such situations are bound to take a toll on the family, Neetu also revealed how she broke the news to Ranbir Kapoor, “Ranbir came and I told him ‘There’s something I want to tell you.’ I told him what happened, he had tears in his eyes. He was in denial for an hour or so. He composed himself and said ‘Let’s deal with it’,” she said during her Times Now interview.
