Josh actor battles health issues, breaks down in video while parting with 4 dogs
Actor Sharad Kapoor struggled to hold back his emotions as he said goodbye to his four pet dogs. A video of the moment went viral on social media, with the Josh actor expressing hope that he would be able to bring his pets home when his circumstances improve.
Sharad's health issues and physical challenges had made it difficult for him to care for the dogs. With his wife and newborn child also living in the house and no caretakers available, the pets were moved to an animal welfare centre run by non-profit organisation YODA Mumbai.
Hema Choudhary, Sharad's friend and the founder of Mumbai-based NGO Bezubaan Public Welfare Trust, shared the video and explained the situation. She said the actor's health had made it increasingly difficult for him to look after all four dogs.
Sharad did not want to part with his pets, but his family was going through a challenging period. YODA Mumbai will now care for the dogs at its welfare centre.

In the video, Sharad appears heartbroken while speaking about the separation. He said he hoped to bring the dogs back after moving into a new bungalow.
โThere is also a situation at my home right now. After this house, when I get my new bungalow, I am going to tell YODA, โPlease give my babies back because I cannot live without them,โโ he said.
Sharad also expressed concern about how the dogs would cope without him. He clarified that the decision to move them was not connected to animal cruelty.
โAs an actor, I am such an emotional person. How can we be cruel to someone? We are here to love people and give love to them,โ he said.Sharad Kapoor's film career
