The sets of The Bhootnii were filled with pranks, laughter, and nonstop fun—exactly what one would expect from a comedy-horror film. But amidst the ghostly mischief and lighthearted chaos, Palak Tiwari and director Sidhaant Sachdev shared an unexpected bond with a little puppy who became an inseparable part of their journey.
In a behind-the-scenes revelation, Palak shared the touching experience. “It was a comedy film, so every day on set was really fun, and the overall vibes were brilliant,” she recalled. The energy was infectious, with endless jokes, playful scares, and a team that felt like family. But amidst all the excitement, something truly special happened. “Sidhaant Sir and I adopted a dog while filming, and we fell in love with the dog. It was a very sweet, beautiful puppy.”
The little pup quickly became the heart of the set, wandering between takes, playfully interrupting scenes, and bringing a new kind of joy to the cast and crew. Whether it was curling up beside them during breaks or curiously watching the actors rehearse, his presence added warmth to their filming days.
However, as the shoot neared its end, an unexpected tragedy struck. “Towards the end of the schedule, he sadly passed away. He had a very rare condition,” Palak shared, her voice filled with emotion. The sudden loss left the entire team heartbroken, especially Palak and Sidhaant, who had grown incredibly attached to their furry friend.
Despite the sorrow, they choose to cherish the love and happiness the puppy brought them. “Even though his time with us was short, he gave us so much love. He’ll always be a part of The Bhootnii for us,” Palak added.
As audiences gear up to watch The Bhootnii, a film packed with spooky thrills and rib-tickling moments, this touching off-screen story serves as a reminder that some of the most unforgettable memories happen behind the scenes.
