Actor Sharad Kapoor, known for his role in the film Josh, has temporarily moved his four pet dogs to YODA Mumbai, an animal welfare centre, citing difficult family circumstances.

The actor appeared emotional in a viral video as his pets were taken to the non-profit organisation.

The dogs will remain at the centre until the actor is able to look after them again.

Health challenges and family circumstances

Kapoor is currently managing physical health issues that require him to receive care himself. His wife and newborn child are also living in the same house, increasing his family responsibilities.

Looking after four pets has become challenging for the actor without a regular caretaker. While he was once noted for his fitness and looks, he appears quite different in recent footage.

Viral video sparks fan concern

A video showing the actor struggling to hold back tears while saying goodbye to his four dogs has gone viral on social media. The footage caused widespread concern among fans regarding his current health and personal situation.

Many followers have posted messages on social media platforms wishing for his recovery. They also expressed their hope to see him back in action soon.

Hema Chaudhary clarifies temporary nature of move

Hema Choudhary, the founder of the Mumbai-based NGO Bezubaan Public Welfare Trust, released a video to explain the reasons behind the move. She clarified that the relocation is temporary and the pets have not been abandoned.

Chaudhary met with Kapoor after learning about his circumstances. She explained that the dogs were moved because the family is currently finding it difficult to care for them.

Actor's career and hope for reunion

Kapoor began his film career with the 1996 release Dastak. His last film appearance was in the 2019 production Jabariya Jodi, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra.

The 50-year-old actor described himself as an emotional person who loves people and gives love to them. Regarding the current situation, he stated the dogs would be depressed without him and clarified there was no case of animal cruelty.

He hopes to reunite with his dogs once his situation improves and he shifts into a new bungalow. He expressed that he cannot live without them and plans to ask YODA to return the animals after he moves. Kapoor said, “After this house, when I get my new bungalow, I am going to tell YODA, please give my babies back because I cannot live without them”.
