Ever since Rishi's return, several took to Twitter to welcome him. Singer Adnan Sami wrote, "Welcome back!! Thrilled!!," while a fan suggested him to go straight to Asha Bhosle's place for dinner.

Reports
Rishi was reported to return before Ganesh Chaturthi, his birthday

Earlier it was reported that Rishi might make it to India to mark Ganesh Chaturthi, an important celebration for the Kapoors, and also his birthday. "Celebrating Ganpati is a family tradition. So, I am hoping to be part of it," he had informed. However, in an earlier interview, he had noted that he'd plan his "return five-six weeks after my last treatment."

Interview
"Had a marrow problem. I had to get it rectified"

It was last September when Rishi suddenly left India for NY. He and his family remained mum over the issue, but sources confirmed that he was suffering from cancer. Rishi later narrated, "I had a marrow problem. I had to get it rectified. You can't fly long hours so I had to be here (New York). I went through treatment and, it was successful."

Feeling
While in NY, Rishi was missing pomfret, soft chapatis

Several times during his NY stay, Rishi spoke about how he was missing India and homemade food, especially pomfret (fish), and "soft chapatis made of chakki ka atta." "I miss eating pomfret; it's not available here. I also miss soft homemade chapatis. Those soft chapatis made of chakki ka atta are something else," he observed. Now that you're back home, have your fill, Rishi!
