Actor Sharad Kapoor was visibly emotional as his four pet dogs were moved from his home to an animal welfare centre. A video shared by his friend Hema Choudhary shows him speaking about the separation and asking for his pets to be brought back.
Hema, who runs Mumbai-based NGO Bezubaan Public Welfare Trust, explained why the dogs had to be moved. She said Sharad has been dealing with health and physical challenges and needs care himself.
In the video, she said Sharad's wife and newborn child also live at the house, and the family was finding it difficult to look after all four dogs without additional caretakers. She added that Sharad was reluctant to part with his pets, but the family eventually had to take the decision.
