My mother has done a great job with me: Sonali Bendre

Who is Sonali Bendre’s real life hero? The actress calls her mother her hero for raising three daughters with very limited resources and giving them wings despite being not so educated. She admits this kind of heroism is not so uncommon in the country.

‘My mother has done a great job with her kids,’ the 38-year-old actress said in a group interview.
‘The daily struggle of raising three daughters with a very limited income, yet seeing to it that they get a good upbringing, giving her daughters the wings even after not being so educated - that person is my hero,’ Sonali added.

Having said that, she feels that ‘this kind of heroism is in most of the women in India because they all are doing that.’

Hailing from a middle-class family, Bendre entered filmdom through ads and later rose on the firmament with her work in Sarfarosh, Zakhm, and Duplicate.

After playing a successful innings, she tied the knot with filmmaker Goldie Behl and settled down. Mother of a seven-and-a-half-year-old son, she has an immense respect for women who balance family and work.

‘I had the luxury of making a choice (whether to work or not),’ she added.
