I doubt it, but ya." "Honestly, when I spoke, and I called in the video, I was talking to my sister, who was right there. Not even behind him, but I was telling my sister to come. That's the thing about this. It's just not in a very good taste when people talk about it," she criticising the internet gossip over the connection between her and Thackerey's family, she further said, "First of all, there are families and people involved. Secondly, something that till date I've never even bothered telling this, but other than the fact my brother-in-law, who is a cricketer, hence he used to play cricket with Raj's cousin.""Moreover, my sister's mother-in-law was the head of department in literature at the college I am from. She knows Raj because of his father. They all know each other somehow," Sonali revealed that Thackerey's wife Sharmila, her mother and the actor's maternal aunt were best friends. While recalling the nostalgic memories, the actor said, "For me, the connection was that Sharmila, Raj's wife, her mother, and my Maasi were best friends. Her mother has held me for 10 days because you know how, oh, her, my mother's younger sister, Maasi. So when she delivered Raj, they all came laughing. Oh, her elder sister's baby. Let's go and see the baby."She also highlighted there is no further connection between her family and the MNS chief beyond this point. She concluded, "They've come to the hospital and seen me. So literally, that's the kind of connection.
