‘I cannot live without them’

Sharad Kapoor’s pet dogs moved to animal welfare 

Sharad Kapoor once shared screen space with the likes of Shah Rukh Khan (Josh, 2000), Sushmita Sen (Dastak, 1996), Salman Khan (Yeh Hai Jalwa, 2002). However, he faded away into oblivion with a random film release here and there where he was mostly reduced to bit roles. On November 13, the internet was shocked to see a very frail-looking Sharad get emotional over his pet dogs. Here’s what happened.

Physical challenges

Hema Choudhary, founder of Mumbai-based Bezubaan Public Welfare Trust and a friend of Sharad, shared the video explaining why the actor’s dogs are being moved from his residence. According to her, the 50-year-old is currently facing certain physical challenges and requires attention and care. With his wife and a newborn child also living in the same house, managing four dogs has reportedly become difficult under the present circumstances.

Hema explained that Sharad does not want his dogs to leave his home, but the family is currently dealing with a difficult situation. Sharad also got emotional while talking about his beloved pets. He said, “Right now, mera thoda ghar ka situation bhi hai... After this house, when I get my new bungalow, I am going to tell YODA (NGO), please give my babies back because I cannot live without them.”
