Star Akshay Kumar is upset and disturbed on finding out that his dogs were being ill-treated by the help.

"I had a bit of a disturbing Sunday, I found out that the very man I've hired to take care of my dog and my son's new puppy has been mistreating and kicking them behind my back (sic), " Akshay posted on Twitter.

"I can't tell you how distressed that makes me feel that my own beloved pets were being hurt. All I can say is I've made sure that it will never happen again... It's disgusting that any human could mistreat any animal... I'm just very upset, my dogs are part of my family and I can't bear to see them being hurt in any way (sic), " he added.
