Sonali Bendre, a well-known Bollywood actress, recently shared her thoughts on choosing to work in television. Many people were surprised when she first decided to do TV shows, especially after acting in popular movies like Hum Saath Saath Hain and Sarfarosh. At that time, film stars rarely moved to television, so her decision made people think she had “lost the plot.”
Sonali Bendre Calls Television Her Best Decision
However, Sonali now says it was the best decision she ever made. She first appeared on TV in the show Kya Masti Kya Dhoom. She said she loved the concept of the show and also received a great paycheck. According to her, working on television gave her a new life in the entertainment industry and helped her stay connected with fans.
Her husband, Goldie Behl, supported her completely. He told her that television would become big in the future, and she trusted his advice. Sonali says she’s thankful she listened to him because it turned out to be a smart move.
Over the years, Sonali judged many popular reality shows like Indian Idol 4, India’s Got Talent, Hindustan Ke Hunarbaaz, India’s Best Dramebaaz, and India’s Best Dancer 3. Today, she is hosting a new reality show called Pati Patni Aur Panga, which features celebrity couples competing in fun tasks.
Sonali said that television helped her stay relevant. Many young fans who saw her on her early TV shows still remember her today. She believes that in showbiz, you remain alive as long as people remember you.

Another reason she chose TV was for a better work-life balance. When her son was young, she wanted to spend more time with him. Since reality shows have shorter work hours than films, it suited her lifestyle perfectly.
