Arjun Reddy star Vijay Deverakonda, who is set to play a tough MMA fighter in his debut Bollywood film Liger, is a loving pet-parent in real life. The on-screen hothead has been winning hearts on social media with his warm, loving and gratitude-filled posts with his family and his best friend, a husky. While we all wait to watch him in action in Liger, releasing on August 25, here is a look at some of the cutest Instagram moments of the actor.

Deverakonda is an automobile enthusiast who often enjoys driving his luxury cars. The Taxiwala star shared a reel of him riding a red Bentley on the roads of Hyderabad. “Just Me - Driving a car,” he wrote.

Deverakonda has found his best friend in Storm, his pet husky. The duo share a deep bond, and it is evident in his Instagram profile. The Dear Comrade actor shared a video of Storm’s first flight, and the husky shook hands and enjoyed the treats while chilling with his human.

Deverakonda looked dapper in a suit while greeting fans. The Telugu star sported an Arjun Reddy look as he went up on stage and said, “Boys, I love you all.”

Enjoying long walks with Michael Buble’s song Feeling good playing in the background, Deverakonda seems to be having fun taking a walk in the woods. Being his usual charming self, he did not miss the chance to flash a smile at the camera.

Deverakonda shared a very special video on his birthday in which he talks about his “morning thoughts” about his career. The Geetha Govindam actor talked about his struggles in the industry and how he had to fight every step of the way, including for his social standing, sale of tickets and the love of his fans.
