Raveena Tandon talks about rescuing stray animals

She was among the first few celebs to resume shooting last year once lockdown restrictions were relaxed. Raveena Tandon spent a couple of months shooting an online project in

Himachal

and shared several pictures of the

picturesque

locales on her Instagram handle. The

actress

even rescued some stray animals there and helped find loving homes for them.


Raveena has spoken about being kind to stray animals and adopting rather than buying pets. Some time ago, she shared a post on social media in which she said that her house had become like Dr Dolittle’s place. Dr Dolittle is a popular fictional character, who could talk to animals.

Raveena

wrote, “Rescuing these animal babies is a regular thing at

Neelaya

, my house, which has become like “Dr Dolittle’s” home, three owls, one monkey, a baby bat, numerous pigeons, a few parakeet, and kittens actually turn up right at our address to be rescued, the owls flew in, the monkey turned up on our tree, with his collar and leash dangling obviously someone had illegally kept him captive and he broke away, escaped and turned up on our doorstep, and the baby bat fell flat out of a nest on our terrace. All successfully rehabilitated. The owls were flown out at night, monkey at forested rescue shelter, and the baby bat, the rest got all good adoptive homes (sic).”
