Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, who has been undergoing medical treatment in New York has been getting a lot of visitors from the film fraternity. Joining the array of stars who visited the actor in recent past are Rajkumar Hirani, Tina and Anil Ambani.

Touched by the gesture of meeting his friend from the industry, Rishi posted a picture with the '3 Idiots ' director on his Twitter handle and wrote, "Thank you Raju Hirani for staying with us for so long. Good to meet people from my fraternity and then talk film."

In the picture, the Kapoor couple can be seen striking a perfect pose with the director. It seems from the post that the actor is missing work during his treatment.

Apart from the above-mentioned stars, Karan Johar who flew down to New York for his birthday celebrations also paid a visit to the couple on Friday to spend some quality time with the pair whom he termed as his "favourite couple of Indian cinema".

"My absolutely favourite couple of Indian cinema....I grew up loving them and am so privileged to know them....strong...resilient and full of positivity! Neetu and chintuji are absolutely amazing and so full of love!! Thank you for your energy! Love you," he wrote.
