Tina Dutta, Rashami Desai tie rakhi to their pets

Here’s how some small-screen girls celebrated Raksha Bandhan with their pets last year .
Rashami Desai
This is going to be Oreo’s first rakhi, he turned a year old on August 5. My brother’s daughter will also tie him rakhi. I can’t imagine my life without him. Oreo loves chocolate pastry and I will order it for him to celebrate the occasion.

I have been tying rakhi to my dog and cat since they were born.I also tie rakhi to my tomcat, but it’s very difficult to catch him for a pic. The one in the picture is Kaju, who protects me like a brother. She is very choosy about the male friends who visit my house and only a few have won her heart in the very first meeting. That’s why I tie her rakhi. We also have sibling rivalry. She seems to think she was also born from my mother’s womb and competes with me for pressing her feet. It’s like she’s the daughter, not me.

Tina Dutta
My two pets are like my babies and siblings, all in one. Bruno is only six months old, so this will be his first rakhi. But Rani is older and I’ve been tying a rakhi to her for the past three years. The first thing I do after reaching home is to spend quality time with them. I can’t stay without them for a single day. They are equally protective and possessive about me. I will treat them to their favourite food this Raksha Bandhan.

I have been tying rakhi to Coco, who is my first pet, for the past nine years. He has been with me since my days of struggle in the industry. Coco protects me like a brother and doesn’t let strangers enter the house. He loves haircuts and I am planning to take him to a dog salon on Raksha Bandhan.

I have been tying rakhi to my pet Buddy for five years now. It all started when my cousin shifted to the US and I started missing him terribly on Raksha Bandhan that year. Buddy sat next to me, licking my tears. On an impulse, I decided to tie a rakhi to him. I call him Buddy, because he is my best friend and he understands everything I say. When I make a shooting gesture with fingers and say ‘Bang’, he jumps and falls and pretends to be dead. As I am shooting in Delhi, I won’t be there with him to celebrate this Raksha Bandhan. So, I have asked my mom to tie him a rakhi on my behalf and treat him to his favourite vanilla ice cream.
Shalini Arora
I have been tying rakhi to Tequila for two years. I don’t have a brother and it was an impulsive decision to tie him rakhi. The only trouble is, I can’t do a tilak on him, because he is allergic to vermillion.
