Actor Pratibha Ranta, well known for her part in Laapataa Ladies, considers her relationship with her cats, Theo and Musha, on International Cat Day.
Pratibha Ranta discusses how her two adopted cats, Theo and Musha, have grown to be essential aspects of her life on International Cat Day. The 23-year-old actress, who gained notoriety for her breakthrough role in Laapataa Ladies, talks about her relationship with her feline friends and points out that although many people associate cats with being grumpy, she has a different perspective.
Ranta says, “It depends on the upbringing you give them. If you show them affection, they return the favor.” They come and sit next to me when I’m crying as a comfort measure. The warning was sent to me via email. Because they require so little upkeep, billieon ne dogs are a popular choice. She intends to spend more time with them today because this year has been quite hectic. She continues, “I’ll get them nicely groomed.”
Shimla-born Ranta says having grown up with animals has had a big influence on her. “Life is an important part of nature.” The love I would receive from animals is beneficial to you personally. There is still a cow in our home. Our home gets their ghee straight from the farm. “I’ve always understood the importance of animals,” the actor continues. “But in Mumbai, it might be challenging for individuals to dedicate enough time to their pets. There is a whole cost associated with it.”
Ranta also says that she thought about getting a pet at first since she didn’t feel ready to settle down in Mumbai. She explains, “At first, I was thinking about dogs.”
But her sister’s discovery of a stray kitten while on a costume trail two years prior marked the beginning of her quest to become a cat lover. “It was love at first sight when I got a picture of her,” remembers Ranta. I told my sister to bring it home so we could decide what to do—we may even put it up for adoption.”
“I was uncertain if I would be able to handle it. The amount of love a kitten bestows upon you is immense, and I quickly began to rely on that care,” Ranta says, adding that her amazing experience inspired her to take in another cat.
Her pets’ names are a tale unto themselves. “It was difficult to determine the gender of my first cat because it was only 20 days old when it joined our family. I gave it to some friends to look after when I went on vacation to Goa. The cat was under medicine at the time, and it was in bad shape, bald, and covered in scratches. The cat was well groomed when we got back a week later, and for a little while we thought, “Hamara hi Billa hai na?” Afterward, our pals informed us that it was a man. We had originally given it the name Mushka, but we changed it to Musha since we thought it sounded a bit too feminine. Theos, which means ‘God’s’, is the name of the other cat gift’,” she concludes with a smile.
