Shah Rukh Khan’s Josh co-star Sharad Kapoor lands Hollywood debut after viral appeal for work

Dubai: Actor Sharad Kapoor, known for playing a negative role in Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's 2000 film 'Josh', has revealed that he is set to make his Hollywood debut in January, following a viral video in which he appealed for work.

The actor has also clarified why he temporarily left his four pet dogs at an animal shelter, explaining that a leg injury sustained while playing football in Barcelona left him unable to look after them.

Speaking to HT City, Kapoor said he suffered a serious injury when his foot collided with another player's during a football game in Barcelona. The injury affected his ability to carry out his daily responsibilities, including caring for his pets.

"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 said.

Kapoor added that his consulting orthopedic surgeon, Dr Anand Joshi, had advised him to take two months of bed rest. He described leaving the dogs at the shelter as a temporary arrangement until he recovered.
