A video of him saying goodbye to his four pet dogs has gone viral, leaving fans worried about his health and personal situation. According to animal welfare activist Hema Chaudhary, the move is only temporary, and the dogs have not been abandoned.Emotional video leaves fans worried The clip shows Sharad Kapoor struggling to hold back tears as his dogs are taken to an animal welfare centre.

He looked visibly shaken as he bid them farewell.Many viewers remember him from films such as ‘Josh’ and were surprised to see him in this state. The actor was once talked about for his looks and fitness, but he appears quite different in the footage.

Several social media users have expressed concern for him.Why did Sharad Kapoor part with his dogs As per reports, the situation at home has made it hard for Sharad Kapoor to look after all four dogs. Hema Chaudhary said that the actor is dealing with some physical health issues and needs care himself.

His family also has a newborn baby, which has added to their responsibilities.With no regular caretaker, managing four pets along with other household duties has become increasingly difficult. The family therefore decided to shift the dogs for now to YODA Mumbai, an animal welfare centre.

The arrangement is expected to last until things improve and Sharad is able to look after them again.Sharad Kapoor says, 'I cannot live without them' The most touching moment in the video comes when Sharad spoke about how attached he is to his dogs.

He breaks down while explaining how painful it is to be away from them.He said, “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 centre’s representatives that he would ask for the dogs back once he has a suitable place to keep them.

He described the animals as his children and said he could not imagine life without them. Sharad also worried that the dogs would be just as unhappy after being separated from him. His reaction showed just how close he is to his pets, and it is clear that this was not an easy decision for him.

Hema Chaudhary, founder of the Mumbai-based Bejubaan Public Welfare Trust, shared the video online. She appealed to people not to judge or troll Sharad without knowing what he is going through. According to her, she has known the actor for almost three decades.She met him after learning about his present circumstances and understood why the family had asked for temporary help with the dogs.

She made it clear that the animals were not being left behind for good. They were being moved to a shelter only because the family is finding it hard to take care of them at the moment. Her request was meant to stop needless criticism during an already difficult phase for the actor.Who is Sharad Kapoor?
