Ruslaan's pehla pehla pyaar


His pets Chirkut and Jimmy keep the actor busy


Three years ago, Ruslaan found a stray dog hiding under his parked car during the monsoons. An animal lover, Ruslaan and the pup shared an instant bonding. "He started wagging his tail and even followed me up to my house," he says. About my petsRuslaan, however, had to abandon plans to keep him at home. "My mother (actress Anjana Mumtaz) has an asthama problem, so we decided to house the dog in my building's garage." The people in his building started calling the pup Jimmy to which he responded well. Talking about his other pet, Chirkut, Ruslaan says, "There was this really tiny pup that would steal food from Jimmy's plate when he wasn't looking. She was the most ugly looking pup! We would call her Chirkut and yell at her. But today she and Jimmy have become really good friends." He adds that his mom makes sure his pets are fed on time.My three lovesRuslaan also has a cat named Shah Rukh. "Shah Rukh is this tomcat who eats from the same plate as Jimmy and Chirkut. He's like a goonda and comes to my building with bruises and cuts. I can easily say that these three are the true loves of my life!" Ruslaan is presently working on Satish Kaushik's Tere Sang after the release of his debut film MP3.
