Our
Bollywood
stars
would
be
the
perfect
choice
to
tell
you
that
it's
a
jungle
out
there.
And
closer
home
things
are
similar!
Well...
almost!
You
may
have
already
guessed
what
exactly
we're
talking
about.
And
for
those
who
haven't,
welcome
to
the
world
of
star
pets!
A
celebrity's
life
can
get
lonely
at
times.
And
all
they
need
is
some
affection!
And
what
better
place
to
get
it
from
than
from
a
furry
friend.
For
someone
like
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
adulation
is
something
routine.
However,
when
he
gets
home,
he
is
as
normal
as
any
other
person.
His
dogs
Chewbecca
and
Rebecca
complete
the
family
picture.
And
as
he
says,
his
dogs
do
not
care
that
he's
a
superstar!
In
fact,
many
a
times
they
just
look
at
him
with
a
bored
expression!
But
they
love
their
master
all
the
same!
While
on
the
topic
of
the
Khans,
mention
of
Salman
Khan
is
inevitable.
A
self
confessed
animal
lover,
he
is
known
to
spoil
his
loved
ones.
And
his
two
French
mastiffs,
Myson
and
Myjaan
are
no
exception.
Gifted
to
him
by
friend
Kamaal
Khan,
their
names
tell
us
what
they
mean
to
him.
He
spoils
them
rotten
and
they
even
accompany
him
on
shoots!
And
if
you're
lucky
enough,
you
might
just
catch
him
walking
his
dogs,
close
to
his
Bandra
home,
in
the
wee
hours
of
the
morning!
When
it
comes
to
spoiling
your
pets,
Arjun
Rampal
is
not
too
far
behind.
His
dogs
Tyson
and
Demi
are
living
the
life
many
people
can
only
dream
of
living.
They
have
their
own
beds,
designer
clothes
and
the
best
of
everything!
In
fact,
Arjun's
wife
Mehr
makes
it
a
point
to
shop
for
accessories
for
them
whenever
she
is
traveling
abroad!
Not
too
many
know
about
the
soft
side
of
Fardeen
Khan.
But
the
truth
is
that
he
too
has
a
soft
spot
for
animals,
particularly
his
dogs
Tiger
and
Gunda.
There
was
a
time
when
his
pet
dog
was
in
the
hospital
and
he
was
worried
sick.
The
call
he
made
to
the
hospital
is
one
of
the
most
memorable
calls
as
he
found
out
that
his
dog
had
managed
to
make
it.
Arshad
Warsi
and
wife
Maria
give
a
new
meaning
to
the
term
joint
family.
And
this
extended
family
is
that
of
their
dogs.
There
is
a
male
named
Ninja,
a
female,
Betty
Boo
and
their
son,
Taz!
That
certainly
makes
a
pretty
picture
for
a
family
album!
You'd
think
that
with
all
their
nakhras,
our
desi
actresses
wouldn't
exactly
be
gung
ho
about
the
idea
of
having
a
pet!
But
these
women
certainly
prove
us
wrong.
The
sultry
Bipasha
Basu
dotes
on
her
pocket
Chihuahua,
Poshto.
In
fact,
this
tiny
tot
wears
clothes
designed
by
Bipasha's
designer,
Rocky
S!
Many
a
times,
he
is
seen
wearing
ganjis
that
match
those
of
Bipasha's!
Maybe
the
love
has
something
to
do
with
the
fact
that
it
was
gifted
to
her
by
a
certain
Mr.
Abraham!
While
Bipasha
has
such
a
tiny
pet,
Aishwarya
on
the
other
hand
has
a
huge
female
boxer
named
Sunshine.
Rumour
has
it
that
Sunshine
was
gifted
to
her
by
Vivek
Oberoi
on
her
birthday.
We
don't
know
about
that
but
we
do
know
that
she
absolutely
loves
her
pet!
Then
there
is
Lara
Dutta
and
Kelly
Dorjee
who
have
two
dogs.
On
many
occasions,
the
duo
can
be
spotted
walking
their
dogs
along
the
quaint
bylanes
of
Bandra.
That's
not
all.
She
is
even
the
Godmother
to
buddy
Celina
Jaitley's
dogs,
cocker
spaniel
Heineken,
shitzu,
Pepe
and
the
white
Labrador
pub
Trooper.
And
Lara
makes
sure
that
she
keeps
these
god
children
happy
by
showering
them
with
gifts.
Last
Diwali,
Lara
had
gifted
them
leather
biker
jackets
with
the
words
Monster
printed
on
them!
Perizaad
Zorabian
prefers
more
unconventional
names
and
has
gone
ahead
and
named
her
pug
Chintamani!
She
confesses
that
playing
with
him
is
a
complete
stress
buster!
Starlet
Nauheed
Cyrusi
has
named
her
dog
Satriani
after
the
legendary
rocker.
Even
yesteryears
actress,
Rekha
made
news
when
she
cried
over
the
death
of
her
poodle
Pishti
on
Simi
Garewal's
Rendezvous.
Even
today,
she
is
happy
living
with
her
pets
in
her
bungalow.
Other
actresses
who
adore
their
dogs
include
Raveena
Tandon
who
has
four
dogs
and
is
actively
involved
with
animal
welfare,
Urmila
Matondkar,
Udita
Goswami
and
Kim
Sharma
who
recently
got
a
puppy.
In
fact,
some
time
back
Raveena
Tandon
made
front
page
headlines,
courtesy
her
dog
Rambo
who
was
'dognapped.' This
story
had
a
happy
ending
as
they
were
finally
reunited.
And
then
there
are
those
who
are
different
like
Hrithik
Roshan
who
has
a
cat
named
Pearl
and
Sameera
Reddy
who
has
turtles.
So
it
is
quite
evident
that,
for
our
celebs
these
pets
are
the
apple
of
their
eyes!
And
whoever
said
that
it
was
a
dog's
life,
sure
as
hell
didn't
know
what
he
was
talking
about!
