Becoming a mom isn’t just about giving birth—it’s a feeling, a deep instinct to nurture life, whether it’s a child or a pet. Tinaa Dattaa is one such proud pet parent to her first golden retriever, Bruno, her very special furry baby, gifted to her by none other than Arjun Bijlani. This Mother’s Day 2025, in conversation with us at Mid-Day, Tinaaa Dattaa opened up about how she welcomed her furry baby into her life.
Yes, you read that right! Arjun Bijlani and Tinaa Dutta are actually connected through their pets. Surprised? Here’s the catch: not only did Arjun gift the puppy to Tinaa, but Bruno is actually the son of Arjun’s dog! In a candid chat with Mid-day, Tinaa revealed, "A friend of mine had Bruno—as in, puppies—his father was Bozo. Actually, Bruno is Arjun Bijlani`s dog`s son, so that’s how I got him as a gift."
