Sharad Kapoor seeks work opportunities after raising health concerns
Recently, the Josh fame was seen using a walker to move around. Another emotional video featuring Sharad Kapoor showed his four pet dogs being moved to an animal welfare centre because his health condition had made looking after them difficult. Following the renewed attention surrounding Sharad, actress and animal activist Jaya Bhattacharya visited the Josh actor and shared a conversation with him on Instagram, during which he spoke about his health, financial condition, and plans to resume work.
During his conversation with Jaya, Sharad reached out to the Cine & TV Artistes Association (CINTAA) and requested them to help him find suitable acting projects. He clarified that he was not looking for any financial assistance but would appreciate some encouragement and professional support. He also addressed the speculation about him struggling financially. In his words:
"I want to appeal to CINTAA that I am looking for good work. And I need your support, and I know you have always supported people around you. A little bit of moral support is also enough for me. I am a great actor, and you know that. Money is not the issue. The only issue is I am just looking forward to starting work again."
Sharad explained that although his recent health issues have affected his mobility, he is keen to take up new projects. During the same conversation, the Josh actor revealed how he injured his leg. He shared that the incident occurred while he was playing football in Barcelona. The Josh actor called himself an idiot and explained that he thought he was a great player like Messi.
Sharad alleged that this attitude injured his leg. The injury has since affected his ability to move independently and led the actor to use a walker for support. It has also made caring for his four pet dogs difficult, resulting in their relocation to an animal welfare centre. Further, in the conversation, Sharad shared that doctors have assured him that he should recover completely within the next two months.
The actor is hopeful about resuming his professional commitments in January 2027. He mentioned that he is open to working across different entertainment formats rather than limiting himself to films. He expressed his interest in television soap operas and streaming projects, particularly productions associated with platforms such as Netflix and Jio.
