Sukirti Kandpal
Her pets: A Pekinese and Chihuahua
Bonding since: Four years
BFF: Both my dogs are very special to me. They are like my kids. Lama is a four year Pekinese and my Chihuahua, Shumba, is two years old. Since my dogs are smaller in size, I can't take them out frequently and so they sometimes end up messing up the house. I nearly got thrown out of my house by my mother because of my dogs, but like a true mother of my kids, I stood by my dogs. Lama has bitten and chewed every iPad, iPod, USB chord and charger that I have in my house. He even picks out rupee notes from my jeans' pockets and eats them. But I just can't get angry with them. Both anxiously wait for me after I come back from shoots. They sit besides me and fight with each other so that they can sit closest to me.
