Children day Special | Kalki Koechlin remembers her special friend, shares a nostalgic picture

“This was taken outside my dadi’s house in Lokhandwala, Mumbai, right before we went to get my first puppy Fefe,” she shares. It was a day that remains etched in her heart — the beginning of a bond that defined her early years.

Talking fondly about the tiny pug who stole her heart instantly, Shanaya adds, “He was a cute little pug and my first love! The first puppy king of the house!”

For her, childhood wasn’t just about toys and school breaks, but about the little joys that made everything feel bigger and brighter — especially the unconditional affection of a pet who became family. “Childhood was such a pleasant and fun time,” she says, reminiscing about days that were simpler, happier and filled with the warmth of home.
