Now, after many speculations, the veteran actor has clarified on Twitter saying it's nothing but pollution. “Dear family, friends, foes and followers. I have been overwhelmed by all your concern about my health. Thank you. I have been filming in Delhi past 18 days and because of the Pollution and my low count of neutrophils, I caught an infection whereby I had to be hospitalized.”
Also addressing the baseless rumours doing the rounds, he said, “I was running a slight fever and on investigation, Dr.s found a patch which could have lead to pneumonia, was detected and is being cured. People seem to have assumed a lot different. I put to rest all those stories and look forward to entertain and love you. I am now in Mumbai.”
Speaking about his heath Rishi earlier told a news agency in a statement, "I have had an infection which am getting treated. Nothing dramatic. Pollution got me I guess."
The actor has reportedly wrapped up his portions of the Delhi schedule and is expected to begin the next schedule in Mumbai soon.
