Actor-filmmaker reportedly plans to meet the Josh actor to discuss a project 

Aman Jain Bollywood actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood is reportedly stepping forward to help actor Sharad Kapoor, who recently made an emotional appeal to his Bollywood colleagues to offer him work.

The Free Press Journal has learnt that Sonu was scheduled to meet Sharad last night to discuss a possible project, which could give the latter an opportunity to make a comeback after being away from films for some time.

Sources further told that Sonu had also made arrangements for medical supplies for Sharad. The actor-filmmaker is reportedly taking a keen interest in understanding Sharad’s current predicament and has been personally following up on his situation.

Sonu’s outreach comes after Sharad’s health struggles came to light through videos shared on social media, prompting concerns about his well-being. The actor has appealed to members of the film industry for professional opportunities and support to get his career back on track. We attempted to reach Sonu for comment, but he remained unavailable.

‘Depression mein chala gaya tha’

Sharad Kapoor recently made headlines after a viral video of him sending off his beloved dogs to an NGO for care because his health is not keeping well surfaced on social media. The NGO representative who rescued Sharad’s dogs has now shared a video of the Josh actor in which he shared his struggle with depression. It was revealed that Sharad had been completely bedridden for the past two years. His friend further said in the post that he suffered from a brain-related problem, along with a broken leg. She said that Sharad hardly ate anything and did not even take his medication.

In fact, he was not even able to speak properly. Expressing his ordeal, Sharad said in the clip, “When somebody blames you for nothing toh aapko dukh hota hi hain. Toh main depression me chala gaya tha. I didn’t feel like meeting anybody, didn’t feel like working. But now I’ve decided. I am appealing to the industry: please help me. Mera jitna financial crisis hai, uske baad bas mai kamaa saku.”
