Jr NTR mourns pet dog’s loss

On Wednesday, Jr NTR took to his social media to post numerous pictures of Bagheera. 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.”

While the actor didn’t reveal the cause of the dog's death, he said the pet was 4 years old. “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,” wrote Jr NTR. One picture shows a plant on Bagheera’s grave.

Another, that seemed to have been taken after his surgery, shows his arm in a sling as he sits beside his pet. Pictures also show Jr NTR hugging Bagheera, now feeling the loss. Shruti Haasan commented on the post with a heartbreak emoji.

Purnachandra Tejaswi has advised complete rest for six to eight weeks to ensure a smooth and complete recovery. We would like to assure everyone that there is absolutely no cause for panic.”

The actor underwent surgery for it at KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad and was discharged last week. “I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and prayers from all of you. The surgery was successful and I’m doing well. My heartfelt gratitude to the amazing team of doctors at KIMS,” he wrote about being discharged, adding, “To my friends, family, and fans; your support gives me strength every single day. See you soon!”
