Bollywood veteran Rishi Kapoor, who is currently undergoing medical treatment in New York, was recently seen sporting grey hair, fueling speculations about this health. It was earlier rumoured that the younger Kapoor has cancer. However, his brother Randhir Kapoor rubbished all such reports.

The speculations gained momentum when Rishi shared pictures of himself with grey hair spending time with Anupam Kher in NYC.

Moreso, his wife Neetu Kapoor, also shared pictures of them hanging out with other Bollywood stars including Priyanka Chopra and Sonali Bendre. Rishi had grey hair in those pictures as well.

In response, fans began to express concern over the actor’s health. However, Rishi took to the social media to reveal that the hair is actually for a role in an untitled film being directed by Hitesh Bhatia, putting all the rumours to rest.

Sharing a picture of himself from his salon session, Kapoor wrote, “This is to dispel all notions and wrong speculations of my hair turning grey/white overnight. My hair was dyed by Awan Contractor for a film produced by Honey Trehan and Sony pictures directed by Hitesh Bhatia. Film is untitled. Trust this clears the air.”

He also disclosed the name of his character in the film along with his new look.

“This is the final look of the film. Sharma ji. All grey! Will revert to original hair colour soon.”

Earlier on September 29, Rishi took to Twitter to announce that he is “taking a short leave of absence from work to go to America for some medical treatment.”

However, the actor did not share details of his ailment. He was also unable to make it to the funeral of his mother Krishna Raj Kapoor, who passed away earlier this month on October 1 of cardiac arrest.
