The second season of her show, The Happy Pawdcast, featuring the actress and her dog Icy Behl, was released on November 7 last year. The season focuses on providing credible, expert-backed information on pet care and features conversations with celebrity pet parents.
Talking about the same in an old conversation with Zoom, Sonali shared, “Once my son went to university, I said to myself, this is the time. I gathered a small team, experimented, and put it together. The response from the pet community was amazing. It’s a niche space, but it’s about reaching the right people, not everyone.”
