Unfortunately, two days after he left for New York for his cancer treatment, his mother Krishna Raj Kapoor passed away. He couldn’t make it to the funeral. Talking about it, he said, “That was very unfortunate. I left for the US on September 29, and my mother passed away on October 1. She knew that I had contracted a serious disorder. That entire period was traumatic for me. I was caught up with my problem. I didn’t know what to do, and I didn’t have an option because I had to be here in New York. My brother told me that by the time I would get back, it would be too late. Also, I didn’t have the stamina or strength to come back.”
