On World Animal Welfare day, also known as ‘Animal Lovers Day’, &TV’s artists and proud pet parents express their love and affection towards their fur babies and speak up on their wellbeing. These include Sambhavna Seth (Mahua from Gudiya Humari Sabhi Pe Bhari), Himani Shivpuri (Katori Amma from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), Nirbhay Wadhwa (Bali from Kahat Hanuman Jai Shri Ram), and Tanvi Dogra (Swati from Santoshi Maa Sunaye Vrat Kathayein).

Says Sambhavna Seth (Mahua), “People often see me meditating with Candy, Coco and Cherry my furry babies and doubt my sanity, but animals too have mental health issues. Loud noises, inhumane behaviour, or even small fights in the household causes trauma in them. Hence, I take utmost care to rinse off the negativity and pamper them with lots of love. Animals cannot express themselves as openly as humans; therefore, we need to be sensitive to their emotional and mental needs.”

Himani Shivpuri (Katori Amma) adds, “Arya and I have been inseparable, but during my treatment, I had no option but to leave my baby at home. Though there were few hiccups initially, many people stepped in to take care of Arya. But when I returned home, she slept by my side and did not leave me alone. Animals too need utmost care, love, and affection, just like humans, and their welfare is of utmost importance, especially in their parents’ absence.”

Nirbhay Wadhwa (Maharaj Bali) comments, “Being a parent to a pet is a big responsibility, and their health and wellness are extremely crucial. I ensure routine check-ups, physical fitness, and a healthy diet for Thor. Animals’ love is so pure and unconditional. As humans, we need to be sensitive to all forms of animals and species around us. It pains me to see when people discriminate and treat animals inhumanly, which needs to stop, and the laws need to be stricter.”

Tanvi Dogra (Swati) adds, “I love my baby Oscar, and I can go to any extent to see him happy and playful. But what hurts me is the fact that there are so many strays who need a safe place, care, and affection, but are often neglected. During the lockdown, many many animals were left to fend for themselves and died of hunger. Animals too are living beings, and their welfare is paramount. As a community, we need to become more sensitive and even sensitise others on animals needs and welfare.”

Wildlife has been one of the most ignored species on Earth. It can be found in all in ecosystems, rain forests, plains and many other areas. Over a quarter of these species present are at a high risk of extinction in the coming decades feels the actor, Nirbhay Wadhwa aka Bali from &TV’s Kahat Hanuman Jai Shri Ram. Nirbhay has extensive knowledge of the various species of pythons and has also tried his hands-on rescuing a few from shoot locations.

On National Wildlife Day, he shares some of his experiences in saving these endangered species. Nirbhay Wadhwa, who has walked the ramp for PETA, shared, “I have always been enthralled by wildlife species such as pythons, peacocks, monkeys and many more. Today, we have come to a juncture where we must choose to co-exist, or we will perish. Without wildlife and other animal species, we will not be able to survive. I, along with a few friends of mine, have often rescued wild animals and sent them to animal shelters if need be. It is the need of the hour to protect these animals as there is a growing change in our lifestyle, food, clothing and infrastructure etc.”

Narrating an incident from his hometown Jaipur the actor’s shares, “Jaipur is a city of peacocks. As I live very close to a hilly region in the city, peacocks often flock in my garden. One morning, I saw one of the peacocks’ leg was injured. On an immediate basis, I applied some Haldi paste and called the animal rescue team to send a van for the wounded creature. Thankfully, the team arrived on time, and the animal was put on an urgent medication while safely driven to the nearby shelter. Whenever in Jaipur to meet my family, I often pay a visit to these animal shelters. It brings me immense joy to see these animals healthy and happy.” Kahat Hanuman Jai Shri Ram airs every Monday-Friday at 9:30 pm on &TV
