On Tuesday, actor Sidharth Malhotra took to Instagram to announce that his beloved pet dog, Oscar, is no more. The actor is known to be an animal lover and he shared a close bond with Oscar for around a decade. Sidharth shared a bunch of photos and a video of some happy and memorable moments with Oscar and penned down a heartfelt note expressing his grief.

The note read, "Writing this with a heavy heart and moist eyes. My Oscar is no longer in this world. He’s left a massive void in my heart, being my family here in Mumbai for 11 plus years. I miss his energy around me, he taught me how to care and be compassionate, taught me that emotional energy is all that matters in this world whichever form of being it comes from."

Sidharth continued, "He was my companion through thick and thin, always greeted me with the same enthusiasm regardless of my day or his health. My mornings are incomplete without him, coming back home and opening the door will no longer be the same. Despite knowing that our life span is longer than theirs it still pains to experience it. Such innocent eyes and pure energy is irreplaceable, I am eternally grateful that he chose me in this world and taught me so much. Love you my Oscar. ❤"

Sidharth's friends and co-stars Alia Bhatt, Shraddha Kapoor, Karan Johar and others took to comments to console the actor. On the work front, Sidharth was last seen in 'Shershah' and soon he'll be seen in action flicks like 'Mission Majnu' and 'Yodha'.
