AICWA president makes emotional appeal for Sharad Kapoor

Suresh Shyamla Gupta, president of the All Indian Cine Workers Association, shared a video urging prominent filmmakers and celebrities to support Sharad. “He is only 50 years old. Today he needs us. And a black truth is that you will get one job in the industry today and another job after 10 days or after 1 year or after 2 years or not. This is the biggest black truth,” he said.


He pointed out the lack of regular work in the entertainment industry and uncertainties and hence, he urged everyone to help Sharad Kapoor. "This is what is going on in our industry today. So today we have to stand with him,” he added.

Sharad Kapoor's appeal to CINTAA

The appeal comes after a video of Sharad handing over his four beloved dogs to an NGO for care surfaced online because his health condition made it difficult for him to look after them. Actor Jaya Bhattacharya visited him after the video went viral and shared a clip on Instagram in which Sharad appealed to CINTAA for work. “I want to appeal to CINTAA that I am looking for good work. And I need your support,” he said, adding, “A little bit of moral support is also enough for me. I am a great actor and you know that. Money is not the issue. The only issue is I am just looking forward to start work again.”
