Mumbai, November 15 (Yes Punjab News)
Actor Sharad Kapoor has revealed that he remained bedridden for the past two years while battling health issues and depression. He has now appealed to the film industry for financial and moral support as he hopes to return to work.
The actor recently made headlines after a video showing his pet dogs being handed over to an NGO for care surfaced on social media amid concerns about his health.
A representative of the NGO that took responsibility for the dogs has since shared a video of the Josh actor, in which he opened up about his struggles with depression.
According to his friend, Kapoor had been bedridden for two years due to a brain-related problem and a broken leg. She also said he was barely eating, was not taking his medication and had difficulty speaking.
Speaking in the video, Kapoor said he had slipped into depression after being blamed for something he claimed he had not done. He said he had lost the desire to meet people or work but had now decided to make an effort to return to the industry.
“I am appealing to the industry: please help me. Mera jitna financial crisis hai, uske baad bas mai kamaa saku,” he said.
Kapoor also appealed to senior actors and other members of the film fraternity for financial and emotional support, saying he wanted an opportunity to earn a living again.
His friend further said she had been unable to contact the actor’s family. When asked whether his family called or checked on him, Kapoor replied, “They call me occasionally.”
On Saturday, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) also made an appeal to Bollywood and the Indian film industry to provide Kapoor with work.
