Sonali Bendre tied the knot with Indian filmmaker, Goldie Behl on November 12, 2002. It was a lavish ceremony attended by big shots of entertainment, politics, and sports arenas. Together they have a handsome son named, Ranveer Behl. There is no denying the fact that a woman is the pillar of any family, just like that, Sonali is a support system for the Behl family.
Here’s what Goldie once said about her, “She’s my pillar of strength. She’s stood by me every time I’ve been down. She’s so positive about me and our relationship. For any relationship to work, having belief and faith in the other person is important. She’s always believed in me. I have immense faith and belief in her too. I guess that’s the crux of our relationship. Even though our marriage has completed a decade, we’re still discovering each other. There’s so much more to find out about each other and enjoy a long and happy life together. It’s great and I hope it remains this way.” (Check Out: 5 Famous Bollywood Actresses Who Chose To Tie The Knot At An Early Age)
