In a cryptic tweet last month, Rishi Kapoor wrote he was travelling to the US for a medical treatment. Before his well-wishers could jump onto conclusions, the Mulk actor asked them not to speculate his leave of absence. He wrote, "Hello all! 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. It's been 45 years 'plus' of wear and tear at the movies. With your love and good wishes, I will be back soon!"

Rishi Kapoor was seen catching up with 'old friend', actor Anupam Kher, while he is in the United States for treatment. Taking to social media on Sunday, Kapoor shared a slow-motion video in which the 'Prem Granth' co-stars can be seen talking as they take a stroll on the busy streets of Manhattan, New York.
