When asked how coming from an army background helped her, Bendre quickly responded by saying, “because he (Sonali’s father) would get transferred every two years, I was in a new school. So I was meeting new people, new students and you know you're always an outsider and so even in the movies when I was an outsider I never really felt like that because I was so used to being an outsider”.

 

As the Hum Saath Saath Hain actor continued, she added, “I found my way around. It just helped me adapt more. So, it was easier for me to adapt to new situations, and I think it also kept me grounded because I didn't get so carried away with what was happening to me”. As she mentioned books, she was asked to share her favourite genre. However, without naming a particular genre, the actress said, “I like all kinds of books, [it] depends on what my mood is at that time”.
