“Loved you Simba!!!!! This lion was rescued and saved when he was 3 months old cub. He is not caged or malnutrition. He is kept in a natural habitat at a farmhouse and was taken to this house only for a day,” wrote Imran.
He further added, “He loves human beings and cannot be sent back to jungle since he feels more comfortable with the owner and can’t survive without him.”
Imran also posted a clarification video of himself and spoke of Simba’s wellbeing. aid, “Thanks to all you for the concern but Simba is well taken care of and a super pampered lion who is well bred and not on drugs,” said the Koi Chand Rakh actor.
