Actress Aditi Rao Hydari recently spent her Sunday surrounded by wagging tails, furry hugs, and lots of love. Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a series of adorable photos and videos from her visit to The Pet Café Hyderabad and Deven’s Hope Society, where she spent the day meeting and cuddling rescued dogs.
In her caption, Aditi wrote, “Sundays are for cuddles and squishes”, and her photos showed exactly that. From lying on the floor surrounded by happy dogs to showering them with affection, every picture radiated warmth.
Aditi also took a moment to appreciate the people behind these rescue efforts, writing, “More power to these incredibly inspiring humans for rescuing and looking after these furry babies.”
She didn’t hold back her emotions when speaking about animal cruelty, adding, “Tight slaps to evil humans who abandon them, torture them and behave like demons.”
The actress urged her followers to visit and adopt, tagging the shelters in her post and writing, “Come visit and adopt! @thepetcafehyd @devenshopesociety.”
Aditi thanked Mallika Reddy (@mallikareddyg) – whom she fondly called “Malli poo” — and “mumsie pie” for taking her there, expressing gratitude for the experience.
