On Saturday, Rishi Kapoor informed his well-wishers that he is going to the US for a medical check-up, and had also requested them to not speculate anything. This is what he tweeted on Saturday: "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! [sic]"
