Mumbai, Aug 19 — Telugu star NTR Jr. has mourned the loss of his beloved pet Bagheera, remembering the four years they spent together and said that his absence leaves a silence that feels far too large.
NTR Jr. shared a string of pictures of Bagheera, a Bernese Mountain Dog on Instagram. In the images, the actor is seen cuddling him. The last photograph has a tree planted in the actor’s furry friend’s memory.
For the caption, he wrote: “Bagheera, You came into my world as a companion and quietly became family — filling days with love, loyalty, mischief and a kind of comfort only you could give. Your absence leaves a silence that feels far too large, but so does the love you leave behind.”
“Thank you for choosing me, for walking beside me, and for making these four years infinitely more beautiful. Run free, my little one. You were deeply loved, and you always will be.”
In other news, the actor was discharged from the hospital on August 13 after undergoing arthroscopic surgery following a shoulder injury sustained during a recent film shoot.
According to a health bulletin from KIMS Hospitals, Secunderabad, the actor was discharged after a successful procedure led by R. A. Purnachandra Tejswi and Nithin Bejjanki.
