Pets are more than just companions they are family, confidants, and a constant source of comfort. On the occasion of National Pet Day, actors reflect on the deep emotional bond they share with their furry friends and how these companions bring joy, healing, and unconditional love into their lives. Sharing their heartfelt experiences are Priyamvada Kant (Latika, Gharwali Pedwali) and Vidisha Srivastava (Anita Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai 2.0).
Priyamvada Kant, who plays Latika in Gharwali Pedwali, shares, “I have always believed that pets choose us as much as we choose them. My journey with my cat, Shahenshah, has been nothing short of magical. He walked into my life at a time when I needed companionship the most. With his royal attitude and gentle affection, Shahenshah truly lives up to his name. Whether it’s curling up beside me after a long shoot or playfully demanding attention, he has this incredible way of making everything feel lighter. Cats are often misunderstood as being aloof, but Shahenshah has shown me how deeply intuitive and loving they can be. He senses my moods, sits quietly when I need peace, and becomes playful when I need cheering up. On this National Pet Day, I celebrate the quiet, comforting presence pets bring into our lives and how they teach us love in its purest form.”
