Got amazing feedback from the film industry: Karan Patel

Speaking about his love for animals, Patel stated how he and Ankita are fond of animals and consider them to be more human than most humans actually are.

Adding to it, he stated how in this process, the basic needs of the strays were barely met. He also mentioned how it had been very tough on them. Patel then assured that in a situation where the world was fighting, they wanted to do their bit for them.

His concern for the stray animals 

He added how he was deeply concerned for their well-being and how he 'did what he could' for the strays running around his house but was worried about the animals roaming in other areas. 

Patel concluded by saying how some were privileged enough to get loving homes, but not the others and stated that it was up to people to see what conditions they were living in or going through and speak up on their behalf.
