Randeep Hooda may have the image of an angry young man but this toughie in real has a major soft corner for animals. In fact he even wants to build his dream house, one that can accomodate all his favourite animals in them. Not many are aware that though acting may be his profession, here real passion in life is horses.

A great animal lover, Randeep wishes to buid a home that could nurture animals. " I want such a home where I can have my ducks, horses, cows and hens in my garden.

The concept of "FLAT" in Mumbai does not appeal to me at all really. My dream should overlook a huge garden and should have a lot of greenery around. I will have a paddy or a deck where I can sit and just relax." reveals Randeep.

Just few weeks back, once while going on his usual rounds of horse riding at Mahalaxmi Race Course, the Rang Rasiya star, Randeep spotted some taxi drivers holding an injured baby eagle, which had falled from the sky.

Randeep immediately stopped his car and enquired about it and later told them to hand it over to him. But they refused to give it to him and demanded money instead. Without thinking twice he paid them Rs. 2000 and took charge of the poor bird.

He immediately called a vet friend of his and got the bird treated for its injuries. He later called up the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) centre and handed over the bird to them.

He may be busy protecting animals in Bollywood town but the talented actor has a string of interesting projects ahead.

He is doing Ketan Mehta's Rang Rasiya where he plays the pivotal role of Raja Ravi Verma, there is Victoria Entertainment's Love Khichdi, Percept's Rubaru, PVR's Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye where he plays the ultimate ladies man and Red Ice Films' satirical comedy, Khusarprasad Ka Bhoot.
