Pariva Pranati, who is currently playing the role of Vandana in 'Wagle ki Duniya', is a mom of one boy and seven furry babies. Pariva is an advocate of animal welfare. In a conversation with midday.com, she shared that for her, taking care of pets, nature, and strays is the most important thing.

Pariva Pranati started the conversation by sharing her idea of raising her 7-year-old son. The actress shared that for her, it is very important that her child turns out to be a good human. She said, "It is very important to me that he takes care of animals, nature, and cleanliness in general. My life has become about this - raising another being the right way."

Pariva, who has rescued two Indies and three cats, shared how she takes care of the strays and their pets in this scorching heat. "I make sure there's constantly water available for animals. For the animals on the road, we also try to keep water everywhere so that they can get water," the actress said.

While talking about her nature, she said, "I love animals. I love trees, animals, forests, jungles - everything. I love nature."

While sharing about her wish to open an animal shelter, Pariva said, "I think I was born like that. I've always connected very well with nature. I've cried when a tree is cut down. I'm that kind of person. If an animal gets harmed, I can sit and cry for hours thinking about what that animal must have gone through."

On a parting note, she shared her thoughts on how minuscule humans' contribution is to the planet, saying, "I also believe that the planet does not just belong to humans. We have to share it with animals and other living forms - the trees, the forests. For humans who have problems with nature and animals, I always keep saying that in the ecosystem, it is said that if a honey bee vanishes, the entire ecosystem would collapse. But if humans vanish, the ecosystem would start thriving."
