Kumkum Bhagya's Rachi Sharma and Abrar Qazi share their special fondness for strays

Owning a pet can be a delightful idea, but for actors working in daily soaps, it's a challenging responsibility. Two notable pet lovers are Abrar Qazi, the lead actor of Kumkum Bhagya, and Rachi Sharma, who portrays Rajvansh and Poorvi in the show. Due to their demanding schedules, they cannot keep pets at home as they hardly spend any time there. Instead, they have started caring for the stray animals on their set.

Abrar and Rachi have taken the time to treat the stray dogs on set as if they were their own pets. They dedicate ample time to playing with them and ensure they are fed and watered so the cats and dogs don't go to bed hungry, even when the actors leave the set.

Rachi Sharma said, "Since my childhood, I have always wanted to adopt a dog or a cat, but never got a chance to do so. My mother used to tell me that I can keep one when I grow up, only if I am able to take care of them. Although I have managed to rescue one dog back at my home in Indore because there are people to take proper care of him, but here, as I stay by myself in Mumbai, I can't afford to keep one. My working hours are not fixed, and because of the hectic shoot schedules, I cannot take the responsibility and not live up to it. So, all the stray dogs and cats on our set are like my pets and I love spending time with them. Whenever Abrar and I get time in between the shots, we play with them."

Abrar Qazi said, "I have always been a very big pet lover and after meeting Rachi and getting to know our mutual love for these furry friends, we spend most of our time with them when we are not shooting. Playing with them and taking care of them is therapeutic and helps us relax in between scenes. We have given cute names to them, and they actually come running to us whenever we call them. it is always a great feeling to be around them."

In the upcoming episodes of the show, the viewers will get to watch how Monisha (Srishti Jain) is instigating Rajvansh against Poorvi so that he believes Poorvi gave fake notes in the hospital. 

Will she be successful in creating a drift between them? Or will Poorvi win Rajvansh's trust once again?
