Sonali Bendre, Author, Model and Film Actress graced the function as chief guest. Prior to the installation, Padma Rajgopal, Chairperson of FICCI FLO Hyderabad Chapter and Nidhi Swarup, Chairperson of YFLO Hyderabad Chapter gave an overview of the year gone by.
Interacting with media prior to the installation, Sonali said that she is fond of book reading. More than half of her suitcase for film shootings used to be filled with books. I have learnt a lot through books. Books have been my constant companions, she said. Because of this habit, I always dreamt of owning a library. Now with e-books, kindles around, owning a library has no meaning at all, she said.
When asked about how did she get the idea of the book on parenting she replied that when she became a mother advises came from different sources. That is why I thought of penning the book because of the wisdom I have collected over a period of time. This book is on what I have lived and experience being a mother. Prior to her two other film actresses, Twinkle Khanna authored Mrs Funnybones and Shilpa Shetty, ‘The Great Indian Diet’
There is no quick fix formula for parenting, Sonali Bendre added. Actor, mother and now author of “The Modern Gurukul: My Experiment with Parenting”, Sonali Bendre shared many things on raising a perfect, curious and compassionate child.
I have always had good days shootings in Hyderabad. I am fond of this place, city and people she recounted her days in Hyderabad.
My publisher wanted me to pen another book. I am just working on it. Subject line etc are yet to be finalized.
Sonali Bendre shared her three principles of parenting which she felt would balance between tradition and modernity. Personal, anecdotal and honest, she said. She highlighted the need for a return to roots to raise a healthy, curious, and a compassionate child.
