Both Priya and Prateik have always been commendable pet parents, as evidenced by their active presence on social media, where they often share glimpses of their life with Chico and now Rocco. Despite their demanding schedules, they prioritize quality time with their pets, emphasizing the importance of companionship and care.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Prateik will next be seen in Aditi Rao Hydari and Paige Sandhu starrer Indo-UK co-production 'Lioness'. The actor will essay the role of a Sikh character for the first time. Excited about the film, Prateik said in a statement, "It is an honour for me to be part of a film that celebrates the legacy of the granddaughter of our Sher-e-Punjab - Maharajah Ranjit Singh. I will be playing the role of Rajdeep Singh, a British Sikh living in the 1990s in Southhall. The character has given me a chance to understand and get closer to my Punjabi heritage. It is a huge responsibility."
The film inspired by the research of Peter Bance, the historian who discovered the story of Princess Sophia Duleep, is the story of two British Punjabi women living in the UK, a century apart. Peter is also one of the executive producers of the film.
