Sara Khan's pug up for sale

Ali Merchant & Sara Khan bought a pug in October. But just two months down the line they want to sell their Saggi. They say they are unable to take proper care of him.

"Yes..We are selling the dog," confirms Ali, "Sara's busy shooting for Bidaai round the clock and I too don't have time. I have more than 20-25 things lined up so there's no time."

Saggi mostly stayed with Sara and often accompanied his mistress to the sets. "It just could not have worked this way. All pets need special care and attention. He should get that love and affection which we both aren't able to give him," says Merchant.

So why did they decide to get it then?

"We decided right from the first day that if in future Sara finds it difficult to look after the pug, I will take his charge but now due to this black out and Rubi (Ali's serial) too shutting down, we had to look for an appropriate option," answers Ali convincingly.


How ever he agrees with the fact that Sara has got very attached to Saggi and she will surely miss him.

"Sara will miss him but she only took this decision as she feels that it was very unfair on Saggi that he was getting deprived of the love which he needed," informs Ali.

The duo plans to sell the dog for a price but Ali says that if he gets some one who has many dogs and "assures that Saggi will be properly cared then I might not charge any thing as his proper care is my biggest concern."

poor Saggi! I remember Sara was so in engrossed with her dog when she first got it....but it really is very hard to take care of animals....you have to give them a lot of attention and of course it is costly!

Oh no! From other articles, it really seemed that Sara was quite attached to Saggi, she brought him/her to the set and everything....but she probably did the right thing....

I remember watching the sbs video and Sara was very attached to saggi but I think the decision is right. If they don't feel they can look after him it's better to give him to someone who can.
