Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon, is a known animal lover and has often lent support to animal welfare oraganisations.

The actress recently visited a private zoo in Germany, which acts as a centre for rescued baby cubs. The cubs are then nurtured and released back into their natural habitat. Raveena took fancy to a cute white tiger cub named Simba, who fell asleep in Raveena’s lap.

Raveena said that putting the cub to sleep reminded her of days when she used to put her kids Rasha and Ranbirvardhan off to sleep by singing a lullaby.

The actress posted a series of photos of her playful time with the cub on Twitter and also stated her desire to open a similar animal rescue farm/centre in India.
