Actor and pet parent Sheeba Akashdeep Sabir, who was last seen in the Sonu Sood-fronted Fateh, is the mom to seven Shih Tzu pups named Falafel, Bubble, Sunshine, Sparkle, Boston, Sky, and Diego. To her, loving pets is an integral part of her life. On Mother’s Day 2025, we revisit Sheeba’s interaction with Mid-day, where the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani fame recounted the time she home-delivered her fur babies with the help of a YouTube video in peak COVID. 

When Sheeba Sabir turned her home into a maternity ward 

Sheeba’s journey as a Shih Tzu mom started with Sparkle, a rescue dog, who became pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic. The actor asserted that she wasn’t worried about the litter on the way, but the pressure to find suitable homes. The vet refused to come home when Sparkle was due to give birth. Sheeba and her son Bhavishya did it all after watching a YouTube tutorial. “The whole night we were just delivering babies, cleaning, tying umbilical cords, stitching up, putting them on hot pads, expressing her milk. We were learning everything,” she recalled.
