Shibani Akhtar welcomes puppy into the Akhtar family

Captioned, "Hi I'm Gigi! The newest member of the Akhtar family ☺️," Shibani writes from Gigi's perspective, revealing the little puppy's quirks and budding relationships with her human and pet siblings. It's clear that Shibani's maternal instincts are in full swing, as she's showering Gigi with affection (to the pup's slight annoyance, but she's already resigned to being loved abundantly).

Talking about how Farhan has not met his 'daughter', "I haven't met my dad yet because he is shooting in Ladakh but these eyes of mine will make his heart melt and I'll have him wrapped around my little paw in no time! @faroutakhtar"

For Gigi, adapting to her new home has come with a bit of sibling rivalry. While Jimmy and Tyson, the family's other pets, are still adjusting, Gigi has already found her first friend and "bestie" in Rumi. Shibani's post lovingly details the budding bond between Gigi and Rumi, who seems to have taken her under his wing, making sure she feels right at home.

Gigi's tale of finding her forever home is a touching one. Her godparents, Shaun Kolah and Vahishta, played heroic roles in saving her life - Shaun actually rescued Gigi while she was drowning, "I want to thank my god parents @shaunkolah_the_directors_view and @vahishtaz for literally saving my life ( god father Shaun found me while I was drowning and rescued me) and finding me my forever home. I love you both so much and hope you come and visit me often. Miss you everyday and will never forget you ❤️"
