Sonali Bendre Behl began her career at a very young age as a model and then transitioned to acting. She has worked in over fifty Hindi films, and multiple Tamil, Telegu, Kannada and Marathi films.
When her son Ranveer was born in 2005, she gave up her promising career to play the most important role of her life: a mother.
It was only after her son started going to school and she was confident of the quality of time she spent with him that she resumed her career. She has since appeared on television as a judge on shows like Indian Idol, India's Got Talent, Hindustan Ke Hunarbaaz and India's Best Dramebaaz, and a daily sitcom with Balaji Productions called Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh.
Sonali is also the brand ambassador for leading brands like Omega watches, Limca, Dabur Real fruit juice, Fun Foods and Prill soap among others.
