Sharad Kapoor to make his Hollywood debut in January amid viral appeal for work: ‘I’ve already got an offer for a film’

Sharad Kapoor on why he left his dogs at a shelter
Speaking to HT City, Sharad Kapoor said that the injury happened during a football match in Barcelona. He explained that caring for four dogs needs daily effort, which he could not manage while hurt.“I went to Barcelona to play football. I suffered a massive injury after my foot collided with another player’s while playing there. As my leg got injured, I couldn’t take care of my four dogs. You need to take them out; they need proper care, and the house gets very dirty,” he shared.
Sharad Kapoor says the doctor advised him two months of rest
Sharad Kapoor said his orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Anand Joshi, has asked him to stay in bed for two months.”My doctor advised bed rest and said that in two months, I’ll be absolutely fine and won’t have any problems. So, I will be back in shape. I also intend to bring my pets back home. This is a temporary solution, seeing that I can’t care for them right now,” he said.
Sharad Kapoor talks about his plan to shift to a bigger home
The actor also revealed that he wants a larger space for his pets and has already made a booking for a new property.“I’m selling the house I’m currently staying in and shifting to Mud Island. I’ve already paid an advance for that bungalow. It has seven bedrooms and ample space for my dogs. They can stay there peacefully. This was always the plan, to bring my pets back home,” he added.
Sharad Kapoor clarifies his appeal for work
Another clip of Sharad Kapoor asking industry colleagues for work has also been doing the rounds online. The actor, who has not been seen on screen for two to three years, said the video was not a plea for money or a dig at anyone.“I was staying in New York for the past seven years. I came back only a year ago. The purpose of the video was not to badmouth my peers. My industry is full of my people. They’re like my family. I don’t need monetary help, and I’ve never chosen to do projects for that reason either,” he said.
