Rishi had recently spoken about ‘such a long break’ in an interview to Times of India. He said, “In 45 years of my career, I have never taken such a long break. It makes me think that sometimes, God takes the decisions for you that you don’t. I haven’t boarded a flight for the past nine-and-a-half months. I haven’t stepped out of NYC.”

Talking about his recent visit to a beach, Rishi had added, “For the first time in nine months, I’ll be taking a break and going to the beach. Thankfully my children, friends, family and well-wishers are with me.”
