The entire Roshan family is majorly into fitness and never really misses out on maintaining a holistic healthy lifestyle.

Last year, classic actor Irrfan Khan, Sonali Bendre, Nafisa Ali and Tahira Kashyap opened up on battling the deadly 'c' word. Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor too shared the news of his health being not well and is currently in NYC underoging treatment.

However, the cause of his ill health has not been disclosed as yet.
