The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India recently lauded popular actor and comedian, Kapil Sharma, for helping them save an ailing rescued elephant.

He even issued a statement expressing his delight in receiving recognition for helping animals. Adding to it, he also mentioned that though he loved to make people laugh, the homelessness of dogs and cats' was no laughing matter.
