Not many are aware that Bollywood's No1 hair, makeup and prosthetic look designer Preetisheel Singh is crazy about pets and animals.

"Leave her in a zoo and she can forget me for a full day," jokes her work partner and husband Mark Dsouza. Together, they run the premier studio Da Makeup lab in Versova, Mumbai, which has curated the looks for the topmost stars and films such as Padmaavat, Chhichhore, Bala, 102 Not Out, Thackeray and Housefull 4.
Put up at her hometown Pathankot during the Coronavirus lockdown, Preetisheel's day begins with feeding cows and then stray dogs around her colony. Once in a while, even horses from a farm nearby.

"The lockdown has dealt a blow to all of us. But we humans are blessed with enhanced thinking and can find myriad ways of survival. But that is not the case with many animals. They don't have the same luxury and depend on humans for food," says Preetisheel.

"So just as we take care of our kin, it's important to spare a thought, some love and food for their well-being too," she adds. Her compassion is very touching indeed.
