'Depression Mein Chala Gaya Tha': Sharad Kapoor Reveals Being Bedridden For 2-3 Years, Makes Emotional Appeal For Financial Help- VIDEO

Actor Sharad Kapoor, best known for his performances in films such as Josh, recently made an emotional appeal to the film industry, seeking financial, moral and mental support amid his ongoing health struggles. The actor's emotional video comes days after news of his four pet dogs being moved to an animal welfare centre went viral, because his health issues have made it difficult for him to look after them.

Earlier, Sharad had clarified that he was not facing a financial crisis and was simply hoping to return to work from January 2027. He had also revealed that he was recovering from a leg injury and had been advised by doctors to rest. However, in a recent video, the actor spoke about his financial difficulties and appealed to his senior colleagues in the industry for help.
