Kapoor said he decided to issue a clarification as “people seem to have assumed a lot different”. The actor returned to India last September after undergoing treatment for cancer in the US for almost a year. Last week amid reports of hospitalisation, the actor told Press Trust of India he was being treated for an “infection”. Kapoor recently announced his next project, a remake of Hollywood film The Intern, in which he will feature alongside Deepika Padukone.
