Marriage for me is a marriage of equals and mutual respect: Sonali Bendre
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. Sonali has addressed a common question surrounding reality shows — are they scripted or real? Speaking about her latest show, 'Pati Patni Aur Panga,' the actress shared her thoughts on the authenticity of the show and what viewers can truly expect from the on-screen drama. Sonali told IANS, 'Our show is called Pati Patni Aur Panga with the tagline Reality Check of Couples. Now, when couples are together, disagreements and moments of fun naturally happen. You can't really script those. We just create situations and put the couples in them. What happens next is completely unscripted. Everything you see on camera is real.' Speaking about hosting a reality show for the first time, the actress shared, 'I am hosting for the first time, so honestly, I am quite scared—actually, more than a little. There are so many other artists with me, and they are all superstars in their fields. Then there's Munawar with me, and he is so spontaneous. He only likes doing unscripted interactions, and I'm used to performing with dialogues. Indo-Asian News Service

Dia Mirza pays heartfelt tribute to her mother while receiving award
Actress Dia Mirza shared an emotional tribute to her mother, reflecting on how she became her first source of strength and inspiration. In a powerful message on Instagram, the 'Sanju' actress celebrated the essence of Shakti — the divine feminine energy and credited her mother for instilling in her the values of compassion, resilience, and grace. She posted a couple of her photos from a recent award and captioned it, 'Last night, as I stood on that stage, I thought of my mother @deepamirza. She was my first understanding of Shakti — not just as strength, but as compassion, resilience, grace, and the quiet courage to rise again and again. Shakti is the divine feminine energy that sustains, protects, and transforms. It lives in every woman who dares to dream, who nurtures life, who stands her ground, and who walks forward even when the path is uncertain.' Dia added, 'To be honoured with the Shakti Award 2025 by the wonderful @shashitharoor, in a room full of women I love and admire - Shabana Azmi ji, Ekta Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Surveen Chawla, Poornima Devi Burman and so many more - was a reminder of how powerful we are when we stand together. This award is not just mine. It belongs to every woman who lives her truth, who lifts another up, and who carries within her the boundless force of Shakti. Gratitude. Love. And renewed hope.' On the work front, the 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein' actress was recently seen in the film 'Nadaaniyan,' directed by Shauna Gautam. The film featured a fresh cast, including Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor, alongside seasoned actors Mahima Chaudhry, Suniel Shetty, and Jugal Hansraj. In the movie, Dia played the role of Nandini, the mother of Ibrahim's character, Arjun. 'Nadaaniyan,' directed by Shauna Gautam and produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra under Dharmatic Entertainment, was released on 7 March 2025 on Netflix. Meanwhile, Dia has recently expressed gratitude for her debut film 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein', which was released in 2001, for shaping her life's journey. Dia took to Instagram, where she shared a selfie dressed in a white kurta. The doe-eyed actress appears beguiling in the picture as she smiles for the camera lens. For the background score, Dia, who essayed the role of Reena in the cult classic, used the rain theme, which introduced her in the Gautham Vasudev Menon film. 'This tune has in so many ways defined the song of my adult life... I was 19 when I danced in the rain with children... the first visual that introduced me as an actor to the audience. With a film title that defines the very essence of the hope one carries into this journey called — LIFE,' she wrote as the caption. Dia then thanked everyone for the love she has received for the film. 'Rehna Hain Terre Dil Mein — Then, Now and Always... So so grateful for your acceptance, your generosity and love,' she added.
