Sonali Bendre – Enjoying The Indian Idol

The actress Sonali Bendre will be back in our homes with the fourth season of Indian Idol.
Reality television is not new to Sonali. She was earlier seen in Kya Masti Kya Dhoom and Mr and Mrs. Sonali will be judging Indian Idol, along with Anu Malek, Javed Akhtar and Kailash Kher. As the hit singing show premieres tonight, Sonali chats with Patcy N.

How did you bag Indian Idol?

When I judged Mr and Mrs for Sony Entertainment Television, it was like a dry run. I enjoyed my experience of working with them. So when they approached me for Indian Idol, I decided to do it. Also, the people in [production house] Miditech know my sister very well, so there was a comfort level. I’m too lazy to step out of my comfort zone.

Did you travel extensively for the Indian Idol auditions?

I went to most parts of India. But I did not go to London, as my child is only three years old. I was apprehensive of leaving him behind. But I went to Dubai, as it was a shorter flight. Source
