Overview

  • Sonali Bendre calls her move to television the “best thing” she ever did, crediting it with a career “fresh lease of life” and a “fantastic paycheck.”
  • Encouraged by husband Goldie Behl’s prediction that TV would boom, she debuted on the reality series “Kya Masti Kya Dhoom…!” despite colleagues’ doubts.
  • She built on that debut by judging talent shows including Indian Idol 4, India’s Got Talent, Hindustan Ke Hunarbaaz, India’s Best Dramebaaz and India’s Best Dancer 3.
  • Last Saturday she premiered as host of 'Pati Patni Aur Panga' on Colors Channel with digital simulcasts on JioCinema and JioHotstar, featuring seven celebrity couples in unscripted challenges.
  • Television hosting has sustained her fan connection while offering the flexibility she needed to be present for her son during his formative years.
