Aditi is embracing the popular question of whether you have a cat-like face or a dog-like personality. She laughed and said that on May 10, 2026, people tell her she looks like a cat, but being with Siddharth and her two Persians is very much like having puppies! This is going down really well online, being full of affection, humor, and just a little bit of feeling bad about being away from them.
Why the cat-face label sticks
Before Iggy and Ollie, there was Sufi. When Aditi was a child she had a cat that was so similar to her that her family said they were sisters. She remembers that everyone commented on their similar eyes and face shape.
And people continue to make the comparison. “I sound a little foolish saying this,” she says, “but a lot of people say I have a cat-like face.” Her fans think it explains her elegant presence on screen, and for Aditi it’s just a friendly joke she’s heard for years.
Why the golden retriever comparison fits at home
However, here’s the surprising thing that’s causing lots of funny internet posts: Aditi says her cats act very much like dogs. “My cats actually behave a bit like dogs, they’re very loving and responsive.” This warmth is what the house feels like, and instead of being strict with them, she ends up cuddling them whenever they want.
She admits that when she gets home after work, the cats are dramatic and loving. “When I walk in, they look at me as if to say, ‘How could you do this to us?!’ They really give me a hard time, so it’s tough.” It’s easy to understand why people would compare her home to being with dogs.
Life ruled by Iggy and Ollie
Iggy and Ollie came from a cousin in Hyderabad who knew of some cats needing homes. From that point on, Siddharth and Aditi were lower down in the pecking order. Aditi jokes that she and Siddharth are now simply the ones who give them treats.
Everything happens on the cats’ schedule. Even her work for brands is tied to what she’s passionate about. She’s working with Sheba, a high-quality cat food, on their “Ignored to Adored” campaign, which shows how the cats have changed how she lives and what’s important to her.
What her cats taught her
Aditi disagrees with the idea that cats are uncaring. “People think cats are distant, but they aren’t. You have to forget about your own importance.” And what she’s realized is true for both animals and people.
She tries to avoid bringing the stress of the film industry into her home. “Pets are sensitive, they can feel what you’re feeling.” Being mindful of this has made her relationship with Iggy and Ollie even stronger and turned her home into a peaceful place to be after a lot of travelling and filming.
The emotional math of a working pet parent
She really does feel guilty. When she’s away filming for a long time, she can’t spend as much time with them in the sunshine or having them sit on her lap. That’s what she has to give up to be an actor and a pet owner, and she’s honest and funny about it, which makes fans connect with her even when she isn’t being glamorous.
Snapshot for fans
If you are catching up, here are the bite-size takeaways that explain the buzz:
– People say she has a cat-like face
– Her cats act surprisingly dog-like
– She and Siddharth serve treats on cue
– Pets mirror human energy at home
– She partnered with Sheba, Ignored to Adored
Where career and home intersect next
Aditi is currently working on projects after being in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series Heeramandi, and is continuing to build her career while also being a recent bride. She married Siddharth in 2024 and their usual routine now includes reading scripts, filming, and two furry “bosses.”
For her fans, this combination is what’s so appealing. The film star is also a very loving pet mom who is known for having a cat-like face, but lives in a house full of the kind of enthusiastic love you’d expect from dogs. It’s this difference that makes people look at her twice.
