She is one actress, who despite doing minimal films, has been the audience`s and the netizen`s delight. Blame it on her part child-part woman ada, blame it on her camera friendly chatter or blame it on her `item` numbers. Sonali Bendre been the most eligible girl in filmdom, a woman whom a husband would love to possess and flaunt.
The Maharashtrian maiden who debuted in Aag Hi Aag with Govinda, also has films Sarfarosh, Zakhm and Hum Saath Saath Hain in her limited list. Sonali`s claim to fame, in fact, lay in her nuanced numbers Humma humma (Bombay), Aankhon mein base ho tum (Takkar), Jo Haal dil ka (Sarfarosh) and Mujhe saajan ke ghar jaana hai (Lajja). As a model and TV host for Kya Masti Kya Dhoom, Sonali`s popularity crossed boundaries. The actress has also recently ventured into South cinema.
Director Goldie Behl (of Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai fame) was the target of much envy when the bubbly babe chose him as her beau. The romance which flickered on the sets of the Behl home- production, Angaarey, turned passionate with time. In true filmi style, Goldie proposed to Sonali at superstar Amitabh Bachchan`s 60th birthday bash. A coy Sonali, was only too obliging. The engagement was announced by Karisma Kapoor, whose fiance Abhishek Bachchan is Goldie`s best buddy. A cosy and quiet reception at a suburban hotel, followed the morning marriage rites of the perky pair. The Behls have given a winning lead to the younger Bachchans (Abhishek and Karisma being engaged), in their race to matrimony!
