Actress Raveena Tandon, who is known to be an ardent animal lover, believes animals should be treated with love and care.
Asked if she feels the country needs to make stricter laws to protect animals, Raveena told IANS: "I think it's very important to live in a country where treatment of animals is done correctly because that is reflective of you as a person."
Her comment comes at a pertinent time when stone-pelting at dogs and atrocities against stray dogs has become rampant in the country.
The 41-year-old actress was last seen on screen in filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's 2015 film "Bombay Velvet".
Asked what's next for her, Raveena said: "Onir's 'Shab' and Ashtar Sayed's 'Matr'. There are a couple of other interesting scripts I am reading. You have to wait for the official announcements."
Talking about 'Shab', Raveena said the film "is an emotional story".
"I play a high society woman who is in a relationship with a younger man," she said.
