How
amazing
are
pets?
They
are
the
soothing
family
one
comes
back
to
after
a
hard
day.
They
are
like
sponges,
soaking
away
all
kinds
of
sadness
and
negativity
from
the
homes
they
brighten
up
with
their
presence.
Bringing
the
story
of
one
such
home
on
screen,
SonyLIV
has
announced
its
next
Marathi
original,
Pet
Puraan
-
a
fabulously
feel-good
social
comedy
on
pet
parenting.
Packed
with
oodles
of
light-hearted
wholesome
moments
and
set
against
a
typical
Maharashtrian
backdrop,
the
series
will
explore
the
unconventional,
far-from-perfect
lives
of
an
urban,
liberal,
married
couple,
Atul
and
Aditi,
and
their
adopted
pets,
a
cat
named
Baaku,
and
a
dog
named
Vyanku.
The
show's
trailer,
which
SonyLIV
dropped
recently,
has
already
been
garnering
rave
reviews
from
millions
of
pet
parents.
Most
of
them
have
taken
to
social
media
to
share
anecdotes
from
their
own
journey
with
their
furry
kids,
mushy
enough
to
make
the
viewers
go
"aww".
The
series,
which
will
explore
the
insurmountable
love
that
pets
bring
into
a
family,
will
have
Sai
Tamhankar
playing
Aditi,
an
independent,
strong-willed,
yet
impulsive
woman
who
discovers
the
joys
and
emotional
ebb
and
flow
of
motherhood,
when
she
becomes
a
pet
parent.
Surprisingly
enough,
the
actress
is
the
opposite
from
her
character
in
real
life.
"When
I
was
first
approached
for
the
role,
I
had
almost
said
no
because
of
my
fear
of
animals.
But
I
am
so
glad
I
went
ahead
with
it
in
the
end,
because
shooting
for
this
series
has
been
an
indescribable
experience
and
I
would
have
surely
regretted
it
had
I
said
no."
Elaborating
on
her
shooting
experience,
she
said,
"I
was
unsure
about
pet
parenting
as
an
actor
because
did
not
know
how
much
I
could
connect
on
an
emotional
level
with
the
pets.
But,
as
we
started
filming,
the
pets
felt
like
my
own
kids,
and
work
did
not
quite
feel
like
work.
Running
after
them
and
always
having
them
on
my
toes
was
a
great
experience.
In
fact,
I
sometime
miss
having
them
around.
I'm
sure
the
viewers
are
going
to
be
reminded
of
their
own
experiences
with
their
pets
after
watching
the
series.
Since
the
trailer
launch,
people
are
coming
together
and
talked
about
being
pet
parents,
and
we
have
been
seeing
some
amazing
stories.
I
hope
our
show
inspires
more
people
to
adopt
pets.
The
show
will
surely
make
you
fall
in
love
with
furry
friends
around.
Take
me
for
example!
I'm
so
fond
of
animals
now!"
