Podcast review: The Happy Pawdcast
As a pet parent herself, Sonali often shares relatable moments—like the chaos of bringing a pet home, their hilarious zoomies (sudden burst of energy among dogs and cats) that take over the living room, or the nervous first bath day—connecting the new and veteran pet parents alike. The podcast balances her pet parenting anecdotes with expert guests thoughtfully. Pet parents and expert guests like Naz Foundation founder Anjali Gopalan, renowned grooming coach Andrea Cyril Khurana, and dog trainer and behaviourist Meera Thosar discuss a range of issues such as pet loss and its emotional impact, animal cruelty, pet rescue, and grooming.
The in-depth discussions, dotted with insightful anecdotes, make the podcast an interesting listen not just for passionate pet parents but also for people thinking of bringing new furry friends home. The podcast also unpacks the science behind wacky pet behaviour—why dogs sprint, cats refuse toys, or why pets sulk after trips to the vet.

Exclusive – Sonali Bendre on hosting Pati Patni Aur Panga: I'm having a great time, but it's stressful keeping up with Munawar Faruqui's quick wit
1 2 Sonali Bendre , who recently made her television comeback as the host of Pati Patni Aur Panga, is delighted to be part of the show. She's thoroughly enjoying anchoring the reality series, which features seven well-known couples from television, Bollywood, and the sports world. In an exclusive conversation with Times of India TV, Sonali spoke about co-hosting alongside Munawar Faruqui , her married life with Goldie Behl , and her experience working with the participating couples. Speaking about hosting the show with Munawar, Sonali said, "I'm really enjoying doing the show but I won't deny the fact that there is a lot of stress involved as well! Munawar is already familiar with this type of format, but for me, it's all new. He's so quick and sharp with his wit that I just wonder will I be able to keep up? This entire experience is more like a challenge rather than just another assignment. But you know what? I love challenges! So I am going all out. Fingers crossed not only will the audience enjoy the show, but I hope they enjoy me in this new role too." Sonali, who has been married to filmmaker Goldie Behl for the last 13 years, spoke about the 'panga' she faces in her married life, "No marriage is ever complete without little 'pangas.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Become Fluent in Any Language Talkpal AI Sign Up Undo Every relationship has them. Earlier, I used to get scared thinking 'Oh God, we're fighting!' But now I know there's something enjoyable about making up later. In fact, now I initiate the fights sometimes because even that's fun! These pangas don't always require a trigger outside; they just happen naturally between a husband and wife. It's part of the charm of the relationship. When both people can laugh about these things and find them sweet moments, it creates such a beautiful twist to the marriage. But yes, if things go on for too long, it's not healthy. In our show, you'll see that same lovey-dovey banter and sweet pandemonium among couples." The actress further revealed about the reason behind taking up the show, "I'm meeting the whole crew of this show for the first time, and I have to say that it's a breath of fresh air. The world, and this industry, are transforming at such a rapid rate. What intrigued me about this idea was its fundamental faith in the institution of marriage. That was the first thing I asked the creators: 'Do you really believe in marriage?' Because I do. I believe that when couples experience the ups and downs, having someone to stand by you every step of the way that feeling of companionship is priceless," she concluded.

Podcast review: The Happy Pawdcast

Sonali Bendre talks about the changing dynamics of relationships in the internet era
Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre has opened up about the dramatic shift in relationships and society brought on by the internet. Reflecting on the digital era, she noted how generational changes are now happening at a much faster pace, reshaping the way people connect and interact. In an interview with IANS, Sonali Bendre spoke about the rapid transformation she has witnessed when asked how the world and relationships have changed with the arrival of the internet. The 'Hum Saath - Saath Hain' actress noted that generational shifts, which once took decades, now happen within a few years, reshaping the way people live, connect, and communicate. Sonali shared, 'The change is huge! In our time, a generation would change every 20–25 years. Now it feels like it changes every three years. Everything has turned upside down. The internet has transformed how people live and connect.' Sonali Bendre, whose marriage has stood the test of time, shared her views on the younger generation's fast-paced approach to love, marriage, and divorce. She said giving advice to today's youth is often pointless, as they feel they already know everything. 'I don't think anyone can really advise youngsters, and those who try usually fail (smiles). They believe they know everything. They have Google, ChatGPT—every answer is at their fingertips.' She added, 'Marriage, according to me, is something that requires daily effort. It should never be taken for granted. Both partners need to work on it. Mutual respect is essential. For me, marriage is a partnership of equality—not that we have to be equal in everything, but our strengths should complement each other. I have my strong points, and my husband has his. We divide responsibilities accordingly.' Work-wise, the 50-year-old actress is currently seen hosting the reality show 'Pati, Patni Aur Panga' alongside comedian Munawar Faruqui.
