People

Animals
(PETA)
staff
will
make
an
appearance
on
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil
to
thank
its
host
Kapil
Sharma
and
his
crew
for
their
compassion
towards
animals.
Kapil,
a
star
stand
up
comedian,
himself
has
an
adopted
dog
named
Zanjeer.
Also,
in
2013,
when
the
sets
of
TV
show
Comedy
Nights
with
Kapil
had
caught
fire,
the
crew
had
rescued
four
stray
puppies
from
there.
A
believer
in
encouraging
people
to
adopt
homeless
dogs
from
shelters
and
streets,
Kapil
says
it's
a
cause
close
to
his
heart.
"Always
choose
to
adopt
your
companion
cat
or
dog.
Remember
that
there
is
already
one
on
the
street
or
at
an
animal
shelter
waiting
for
his
or
her
chance
for
a
better
life," he
said
in
a
statement.
A
group
of
10
representatives
of
PETA
went
to
the
set
of
the
Colors
show
to
applaud
Kapil's
compassion
towards
animals.
Sachin
Bangera,
PETA
India
manager
(media
and
celebrity
projects),
who
spoke
to
Kapil
during
the
episode
to
be
aired
Sunday,
told
IANS:
"When
celebrities
talk
about
issues,
people
tend
to
listen
to
them.
Celebrities
from
the
world
of
entertainment
have
a
whole
lot
of
impact
on
people
and
they
give
a
boost
to
campaigns,
and
especially
issues
related
to
animals."
