00:00Hi. Hi guys.
00:02Recently, your broadcast has been quite popular.
00:05I am liking it.
00:06What would you like to say?
00:07How are you feeling after acting in the broadcast?
00:11Man, I am feeling very good.
00:13I am enjoying it a lot.
00:14It is very unique, you know,
00:16coming with a pet and sharing its general life.
00:20So, it took a lot of effort to execute
00:23because you have to keep a lot of things in mind
00:26because there is a pet involved.
00:27It shouldn't have any problem.
00:29So, the main hero of our show is a pet.
00:32So, sir shouldn't have any problem.
00:34Sir will shoot comfortably.
00:36Sir shouldn't have any stress.
00:37We have to shoot fulfilling his requirements.
00:41So, man, it was so much fun.
00:43You won't have this much fun on any set
00:45when you are shooting with a pet.
00:47When the pet is around you.
00:48It was such a lively atmosphere.
00:50If you watch the first episode,
00:52it was shot with Hrithvik Dhanjani and his pet Murphy.
00:56They have had so much fun.
00:58The audience is all pet parents.
01:00So, they also enjoyed a lot.
01:03I am enjoying a lot to do what I love the most.
01:06Because pets and coffee,
01:07I always say every time,
01:08pet and coffee, pet and coffee,
01:10both these things are my favorite.
01:12I wanted to do something around that.
01:20So, I am doing it with my acting career.
01:23I will never stop acting in my life.
01:25Along with acting,
01:26you have to do other things as well.
01:28Balancing is a challenge.
01:29Yes, a lot.
01:30So, where do you get the thoughts and challenges from?
01:33So, I always feel that I have to do something difficult.
01:37Because everyone is doing easy.
01:39So, let's do something difficult.
01:41Let's choose something that is unique.
01:43So, when we were copywriting this whole concept,
01:47when we were registering the title,
01:50registering the production house,
01:52then registering the concept,
01:54there was a fear inside that
01:55if someone has ever made such a show.
01:57Because you can't copy a show.
01:59So, no one did it.
02:01I said, this is a very good thing
02:03that nobody has done such a show.
02:05I said, now I have to do this.
02:07Because this is very unique, different.
02:09I always wanted to do something difficult.
02:11So, Sneha, now the time has come,
02:12let's do something difficult.
02:14So, of course,
02:15I had put a lot of things on hold.
02:17Because it was taking a lot of time.
02:19I created, produced it also.
02:21So, I was like,
02:23it's going to take a lot of hard work.
02:25So, doing a TV show along with this is impossible.
02:28Because you have to give 9 hours every day.
02:30So, I said, let's develop this for some time.
02:35Then once it develops by itself,
02:38then we shoot particular episodes.
02:41Then I can come back and focus on acting again.
02:44So, this thought came from that,
02:46I love pets.
02:47And I wanted, because I have two at home.
02:50I always thought that
02:51to tell me about them,
02:53there are so many stories.
02:55I can talk to you for 6-10 hours.
02:57What does he do when he wakes up?
02:59What does he do when I get ready?
03:01What has he changed in my life?
03:03Like I consider him my son,
03:05but I know he considers my mom as his mom.
03:08Because you can tell from his behavior.
03:10So, there is so much to talk.
03:12So, I said, why not create a platform only
03:16where people can come and talk about it.
03:18So, those who don't have pets,
03:20if they want to keep them,
03:22they will know by watching this show.
03:24It will prepare them.
03:25If you want to get a pet,
03:26then all these things are going to happen.
03:28Because you just can't abandon it.
03:30It's like your own kid.
03:31Your vaccinations,
03:33your monthly deworming,
03:36this and that.
03:37There are a lot of things you have to take care of.
03:39It's not less than a child.
03:40So, a lot of challenges.
03:42So, to create and execute this whole thing
03:45has been a very big challenge.
03:47But a very happy challenge.
03:49Wow!
03:50I really like the way your character was.
03:53I mean, your sister's character.
03:55But according to you,
03:57I really like it.
03:58After this project,
03:59there were a lot of highlights.
04:01High themes.
04:03There were a lot of projects that came to me.
04:05But you somehow
04:07to show this journey,
04:08you took this journey a little down.
04:10Yes.
04:11But if I talk about pet lovers,
04:13what do you think about their whole life?
04:17Yes, in the show.
04:18You are right.
04:20There were a lot of opportunities.
04:22But,
04:24I felt that
04:26this thing is a little more important.
04:28At this time,
04:30I felt that my show is more important.
04:33Because,
04:34it's more fun to create something yourself.
04:37To make something,
04:38make it bigger,
04:39make it successful.
04:40The fun in that,
04:42after working under someone,
04:44after listening to someone,
04:45that is the only limit.
04:47That's it, go home and sleep.
04:49But now I have to see
04:51what else I can bring in this show.
04:53Because,
04:54we made it to a very good number of subscribers
04:56in a very short time.
04:58So, that means people are interested.
05:00So, does this give me a push or not?
05:02Now I have to work hard for this show.
05:05Because now that level has come.
05:07People are liking it.
05:08In the first episode only,
05:09people have appreciated a lot.
05:11So, in our show,
05:12we are telling that
05:13whoever is a celebrity,
05:15it's going to be public figures,
05:16it's going to be politicians,
05:18cricketers,
05:19it can be anyone who has made a difference in the society
05:22or in this world.
05:24So,
05:25we are going to show the bond between the human
05:28and the pet.
05:29Now it happens that
05:30sometimes someone has adopted a pet.
05:32So, their journey,
05:33what happened with that child,
05:35after that,
05:36when they brought the child to this house,
05:38so how at home,
05:39mom first refuses,
05:41no, no, no,
05:42if a dog comes in the house,
05:43then you will be left.
05:44But as soon as he comes,
05:45how everything changes,
05:46that first he is asked,
05:48son, you have eaten,
05:49why haven't you eaten yet?
05:50We forget everything.
05:51Trust me, this is happening.
05:53This happens in my house too.
05:54That my mom first of all
05:56gives importance to the mother,
05:57that man, that child did not eat,
05:58you are not ashamed,
05:59you are full.
06:00So, it becomes that way.
06:02And how your life changes.
06:03Now, like in my own life,
06:05I have become more responsible.
06:06Like our vacations,
06:08we plan according to our dog.
06:10That the dog should be allowed there.
06:12If it is not there,
06:13then we are also not going.
06:14So, we are not planning long journeys
06:16for so long
06:17that we cannot take him.
06:19So, what are the challenges
06:21that come with your pet?
06:22Like, see,
06:23you have so much to talk about your mother,
06:25about your father,
06:26about your sister, brother,
06:28those bonds.
06:29So, a pet parent also
06:31has a lot to talk about your pet.
06:33So, that's what we want to show people.
06:35And we have segments
06:36where we have animal doctors,
06:38we have animal trainers.
06:39There is a segment
06:40where we are promoting NGOs,
06:42dog NGOs, animal shelters,
06:44people who are supporting
06:46or working for stray dogs.
06:49Because if we are creating a platform,
06:52then it's not only for pets,
06:54it's for the whole animal community.
06:56So, in our show,
06:58pet means it's not just a dog or a cat.
07:00It can be an iguana,
07:01it can be a parrot,
07:02it can be a bird,
07:04it can be any pet.
07:05Fish, horse,
07:06we can't bring a horse on the set,
07:08but we'll go and shoot at the stable.
07:10So, we want to...
07:11anyone can be a pet.
07:13Since you have been in the television industry,
07:15how many people have come so far?
07:17And when you started,
07:19in the beginning,
07:20what was the reaction of the people?
07:22So, so far,
07:23from the television industry,
07:24the next one is Universe.
07:26I will say,
07:27he is on TV,
07:28film,
07:29everywhere,
07:30he is very popular.
07:31I can't tell you the name
07:32because I want you all to wait and watch.
07:34And then,
07:35we are also getting stars from movies,
07:36Bollywood.
07:37So, we are going to explore
07:39all kinds of industries.
07:42So,
07:43they were very excited
07:44whenever you tell them the concept.
07:46So, you know,
07:47SSI and we have to talk about your pet.
07:48They are like,
07:49Oh my God!
07:50Wow!
07:51We want,
07:52we have so much to talk about our pets
07:53because they love their pets a lot.
07:55So,
07:56and then when you tell them
07:57that through our show,
07:58we are also promoting NGOs,
08:00we are trying to promote people
08:02who are supporting strays,
08:03through us.
08:04See,
08:05not directly,
08:06but through us also,
08:07if strays are getting support from somewhere,
08:10then I am all out.
08:12So, we have accommodated
08:13that kind of segment also in our show.
08:21Yes.
08:23So, WWE,
08:25that was a completely different thing for me
08:28because TV,
08:29drama,
08:30the hosting is completely different.
08:32Hobbies, sports,
08:33when you host a television show,
08:35a reality show,
08:36it's different,
08:37but when you are hosting a sport,
08:38like a WWE thing,
08:39you can't go wrong with the information.
08:41You can't say anything without anyone.
08:44You have to be very right
08:45because
08:46otherwise,
08:47from the headquarters,
08:48the phone rings
08:49that your anchor has taken the wrong name
08:51or there is wrong information.
08:53This did not happen
08:54because they are very right
08:55with whatever they are doing.
08:57So,
08:58hosting has been a different journey
09:00and that hosting
09:01has also helped me in my talk show.
09:03So, it has been a whole journey,
09:05TV, host,
09:06and then my show.
09:07So,
09:08it's been helpful.
09:13Next,
09:14you will get to know in a few days.
09:15You all will be very happy.
09:21Yes, I have a plan.
09:22I have a plan
09:23because
09:24Maui also deserves to come on the show.
09:27He has so much to say.
09:29I think I will do an episode with mom.
09:31Wow!
09:32Lastly,
09:33what would you like to say
09:34to your audience?
09:35Do you have any plans
09:36or any projects
09:37that you would like to do
09:38with the audience?
09:40So, for now,
09:41TV,
09:42I will,
09:43right now,
09:44it's not there.
09:45But,
09:46as time goes by,
09:47you will get to know.
09:48And,
09:49apart from that,
09:50please watch this show.
09:51Continue watching.
09:53Please follow,
09:54subscribe, comment.
09:55It's called Pet Stories
09:56at the Pet Station.
09:57And,
09:58it will be a lot of fun
09:59because it's not a show
10:00just for pet lovers.
10:01But,
10:02even if you are not
10:03that fond of pets,
10:04from an entertainment point of view,
10:06if you watch it,
10:07you will love it a lot.
10:08Wow!
10:10Thanks.
