Pets give us unconditional love. It's good to see a celebrity being so open about this grief. In our culture, we sometimes don't acknowledge pet loss seriously enough. More power to him.

Handsome looked adorable in that bow tie! Chow Chows are such majestic dogs. It's a tough loss. Hope Amaal finds peace soon. On a side note, his music in M.S. Dhoni was fantastic.

Respectfully, while the loss is sad, the article feels a bit disjointed. It jumps from his pet to Bigg Boss trivia and his career timeline. The focus should have stayed on his tribute to Handsome.

As a dog parent myself, I can feel his pain. They become your child. The Instagram post must have been very emotional. #RestInPowerHandsome

It's touching to see a man express such vulnerability. In our society, men are often told to be strong and not show emotion, especially over a 'just a dog'. This is a good change. Strength to you, Amaal.
