Sharad Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan co-actor, going through personal, health struggles; emotional video of him parting with 4 dogs moves fans

Actor Sharad Kapoor, who once grabbed attention with his performances in movies along with famous actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Hritik Roshan, has found himself in the spotlight for a heartbreaking reason. An emotional video showing the actor saying goodbye to his four pet dogs has surfaced on social media, leaving fans concerned about his personal circumstances and health. The video captures a visibly emotional Sharad struggling to hold back his tears as his beloved dogs are sent to an animal welfare centre. The decision, according to animal welfare activist Hema Chaudhary, was taken because of the difficulties the actor and his family are currently facing. It is a temporary arrangement, not a case of abandoning the animals.

For fans who remember Sharad from films such as Josh, his latest appearance has come as a surprise. The actor, who once made headlines for his looks and fitness, appears noticeably different in the viral footage. His changed appearance and emotional state have prompted several social media users to express concern for him.

Why did Sharad Kapoor part ways with his four dogs?

The circumstances at home have reportedly made it difficult for Sharad to look after all four dogs. According to Hema Chaudhary, the actor is dealing with certain physical health difficulties and needs care himself. His family also has a newborn baby, adding to their responsibilities. The absence of a regular caretaker has reportedly made it increasingly challenging to manage the needs of four pets alongside other household responsibilities. Considering the situation, the family decided to temporarily move the dogs to YODA Mumbai, an animal welfare centre. The arrangement is expected to continue until circumstances improve and Sharad is in a position to take care of them again.

'I cannot live without them': Sharad Kapoor gets emotional

The most touching moment in the video comes when Sharad talks about his attachment to the four dogs. He breaks down while explaining that being separated from them is extremely difficult. "Right now, mera thoda ghar ka situation bhi hai... 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." He reportedly told the animal welfare representatives that he would request YODA to return his dogs when he has a suitable place to accommodate them.

He referred to the animals as his children and said he could not imagine living without them. Sharad also expressed concern that the dogs would feel equally unhappy after being separated from him. His emotional reaction offered a glimpse into the bond he shares with his pets. For the actor, this is clearly not an easy decision.

Animal welfare activist asks people not to troll the actor

Hema Chaudhary, founder of Mumbai-based Bejubaan Public Welfare Trust, shared the video on social media. She also urged people not to judge or troll Sharad without understanding what he is going through. According to Hema, she has known the actor for nearly three decades. She visited him after learning about his current circumstances and understood why the family had decided to seek temporary help for the dogs.

She clarified that the animals were not being abandoned. Instead, they were being moved to a welfare facility because the family was struggling to manage their care at present. Her appeal was aimed at preventing unnecessary criticism of the actor during an already difficult period.

Who is Sharad Kapoor? Actor known for his role in Josh

Sharad Kapoor has been part of several Bollywood films, but many viewers continue to associate him with the 2000 film Josh. The Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-starrer featured Sharad in an important role. His tall frame, distinctive appearance and screen presence helped him attract attention during his acting career. He also appeared in other film projects, building a presence in the industry over the years.

However, he gradually became less visible in mainstream entertainment and public appearances. His latest video has brought him back into conversations, although for reasons far removed from cinema. While fans have expressed surprise at his changed appearance, many have focused on his emotional condition and the difficult decision involving his pets. The incident has also triggered conversations about the challenges of caring for pets when families face health or personal difficulties. For now, Sharad's hope is to bring his four companions home when his circumstances allow.
