Kapil
Sharma
is
no
longer
his
mother's
only
favourite.
The
comic
virtuoso
has
competition
from
unexpected
quarters.
Zanjeer,
an
abandoned
dog
that
Kapil
brought
home
recently,
is
claiming
everyone's
attention.
Speaking
fondly
of
the
new
addition
to
his
family,
Kapil
said:
"I
got
him
from
a
couple,
dear
friends
of
mine,
Dinesh
and
his
wife
is
a
pilot.
They
look
after
abandoned
animals
and
birds.
If
you
go
to
their
house,
you
will
feel
you've
entered
a
zoo.
There
are
animals
and
birds
everywhere."
It
was
during
one
visit
to
his
friends'
house
that
Kapil
was
introduced
to
Zanjeer.
"He
used
to
be
a
police
dog,
but
has
now
been
abandoned.
I
immediately
fell
in
love
with
him.
My
father
used
to
be
in
the
police
service.
He
died
when
I
was
only
15.
When
my
mother
saw
Zanjeer,
she
immediately
said,
'Your
father
has
sent
him
to
us.'
In
no
time
at
all
he
has
become
everyone's
favourite
at
my
work
and
at
home," he
said.
Kapil
has
a
message
for
all
those
who
own
pet
dogs.
"Please
don't
abandon
them
when
they
grow
old.
People
eagerly
and
happily
bring
home
dogs
when
they
are
cute
puppies.
But
when
the
puppies
grow
into
dogs
they
no
longer
find
them
cute.
The
dogs
become
a
burden
on
the
family."
"They
take
him
and
abandon
him
somewhere
far
away
from
home.
This
is
as
inhuman
as
abandoning
your
own
children.
Please
don't
bring
pets
home
unless
you
are
confident
you
can
look
after
them
all
their
lives."
