“Fur on my clothes and calm in my chest:” Aneet Padda on her visit
Hailed as one of the most relatable actors for her authenticity and for displaying her true self on social media, Aneet has amassed a large fan following. Today, she caused a sensation on the internet once again when she shared an adorable and heartwarming post about her visit to an animal shelter on the outskirts of Mumbai.

The star took to her Instagram handle to share a carousel of photos and clips from the day and penned a sweet note describing her experience.
