Model-turned actress Sonali Bendre gears up for the release of the second season of Zee5’s “The Broken News”
While speaking to the media in the midst of her shoot for the promotional videos afore the release.
The actress also spoke on her first modelling assignment, how the film industry has transformed in the last 30 years – starting out at a young age to support her family, how the set of The Broken News felt like a hug in comparison to the ‘horrible’ sets she had been at and more.
She went on to add that she needed the money and there were bills that were pending and she needed work. Her family was reeling through a rough phase and it all fell into place. It was meant to be.
Sonali, who made her OTT debut with The Broken News, started working when she was in the 12th standard. She said that her parents were against her working in the film industry.
Recalling the time when she started out Sonali said, she can never forget the joy of the moment and the kind of security that it gave her and she kept craving for more.
Sonali, who entered the industry as a naïve youngster and then grew to love what she does said that she found the time when she started her career more challenging than when she was batting cancer. “More than the illness that she went through because she had amazing support at that time, she had the toughest tine when she started working in the industry.
She was so raw and had never been exposed to films. They were always given books. She didn’t even know film and fashions magazines existed.
Sonali, had never lived in Mumbai before and moved to the city as her father had a transferable job saying at that period she didn’t have friends, just family because you are constantly moving every two years. That support system was not there. She was also much young. The film industry world was so different for her, it felt like she was in Mars.
The Broken News, which is based on the BBC Studios format Press, is directed by Vinay Waikul and written by Sambit Mishra. The second season, slated to release on 3 May, also stars Jaideep Ahlawat and Shriya Pilgaonkar in pivotal roles.
