Bollywood and Tollywood stars may shine bright on screen, but off screen, many of them are happiest when they’re with their furry companions. This International Dog Day, let’s take a moment to celebrate the actors who proudly wear the badge of dog parent and show us just how pawsome life is with their four-legged besties.
Ram Charan & Rhyme
Mega-power star Ram Charan’s love for his little furball, Rhyme, is no secret. The bond is so special that Madame Tussauds Singapore even unveiled a statue of the duo together! Whether it’s tagging along to shoots or just chilling at home, Rhyme is truly his superstar sidekick.

Diana Penty & Victoria
Diana Penty’s Insta feed is proof that her elegant lifestyle is incomplete without her gorgeous dog Victoria. Regal and photogenic, Victoria often poses like a queen beside her mom, giving fans endless “aww” moments.

Bhumi Pednekar & Bruno
Bhumi may be busy breaking stereotypes on screen, but off screen she’s all about Bruno, her cuddle buddy. The duo share a heart-melting bond, with Bruno often stealing the spotlight as her most loyal cheerleader.

Fatima Sana Shaikh & Bijlee
Energy, spark, and loads of playtime—that’s Fatima’s fur-child Bijlee. The name itself says it all: this pupper is full of life and keeps the actress on her toes!

Khushi Kapoor & Her Dog Squad
Four’s not a crowd when it comes to Khushi Kapoor’s furry family. Panda, Mochi, Saitama, and Bhaitama are her adorable squad of fluff. Whether it’s goofy reels or snuggly selfies, Khushi’s doggos prove that love multiplies with every wagging tail.

Aayush Sharma & Prime
Meet Prime—named after Optimus Prime—who rules Aayush Sharma’s heart. This big boy is equal parts protective and cuddly, making him the perfect family member.

Alaya F & MJ
Alaya F’s MJ (no, not Michael Jackson, but equally iconic in her eyes) is her daily source of paw-sitivity. From morning snuggles to playful mischief, MJ brings a spark of joy into her everyday routine.
No matter their breed or size, these celeb pups are proof that dogs truly are family. On this International Dog Day, let’s take inspiration from our stars and shower our furry friends with a little extra love, belly rubs, and maybe an extra treat or two. 🐾
