Everyone loves Imran Khan, and there's a reason for that. The actor is ready to show his love for animals by participating in a cyclothon to raise awareness about animal welfare. CS gets the hottie talking:
Pet peeve
It's no secret that I have quite a few pets at home ufffd two cats and three Labradors, Tony, Kajri and Panther. Tony passed away recently and we all miss him dearly. You'll find me spending time with my pets after a long day at work; I just love being around them. They are perfect, and they help you unwind and forget all your worries.
Pets shower so much unconditional love on you. They always want to play with you and show their affection. Even Avantika (wife) loves pets. In fact, Panther is her dog. I love them all equally. But, I don't ever take them to my sets. They're all very playful and taking them on the sets would create mayhem.
Stray of hope
I've always cared a lot about animals. I've tried to bring home as many as I could. But I guess there's a limit to how many pets I can accomodate at home! Earlier, I'd also associated with PETA for adoption of stray dogs. With the cyclothon, I see an opportunity to do something on a larger scale and will do my best to raise awareness about animal rights.
