Jr NTR mourns pet dog Bagheera, shares emotional tribute
Telugu star Jr NTR is mourning the loss of his four-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Bagheera. The actor shared a series of photographs on Instagram on Wednesday, including one showing a plant placed on the dog's grave, along with an emotional note saying the pet 'quietly became family'. Several sources, including Hindustan Times and Times of India, report that the actor, who recently underwent shoulder surgery for an injury sustained on the set of his film 'Dragon', is now grieving the personal loss.
The tribute, widely carried by Indian news outlets, drew condolences from fellow actors such as Shruti Haasan and Lakshmi Manchu. The cause of Bagheera's death has not been disclosed. Jr NTR's upcoming projects include 'Dragon', directed by Prashanth Neel, and a film with Trivikram Srinivas.
