Cupid struck the television jodi Ridhi Dogra and Raqesh Vashisth on the sets of ‘Maryada, Lekin Kab Tak?’ and they have been inseparable ever since. The couple’s cute and happy family is complete with three adorable pets; a beautiful Labrador Eve who is a die-hard romantic, a Persian Chinchilla Nemo who lives life on his own terms, and a Turkish Angora Dori who is extremely playful and fun-loving. The duo speaks and share instances about their pets on NDTV Good Times ‘Heavy Petting All Stars’.
While introducing the pets, Ridhi, Raqesh and the anchor hold one pet each and do a small jiggle dance – Ridhi holds Nemo, Raqesh holds Dori and Paras gets to hold Eve. Later on, when the pets join the chat portion of the show, Nemo and Dori, being cats, refuse to be held in Ridhi and Raqesh's laps and jump onto the table to drink some water out of the centre table bowl full of flowers, while Eve, the Labrador, sticks around and enjoys being petted by Raqesh. During the rapid fire round, when asked to imitate their pets' behaviour in different moods, Ridhi and Raqesh participate enthusiastically. They display the loud irritated ‘meows’ of the cats when hungry, and also Ridhi rests her head cozily into Raqesh's lap to imitate Eve when she wants to be loved. Ridhi also has a good laugh about some of the animal-movie-trivia questions related to Ajay Devgn and ‘Himmatwala’.
Raqesh shares two very interesting encounters he has had with pet-child-birth. He shared that Nemo was actually delivered in his lap. And when their Labrador, Eve was pregnant, Ridhi was out of town for a shoot so Raqesh handled the delivery all by himself, with some help from YouTube. Being a huge animal lover and caring immensely for them, he has also had numerous healing and helping instances with various species of animals.
The lovely couple, Ridhi and Raqesh share instances of how, in their house, dogs and cats make the best of friends. They share some amazing bonding stories of their pets and talk about the love they all share with each other. Raqesh is intuitive when it comes to taking care of pets while Ridhi loves to read about pet care.
