Actress
Sonali
Bendre,
who
is
a
doting
mother,
opened
up
about
her
son,
Ranveer
Behl,
during
an
episode
of
the
JioSaavn
podcast
Raising
Parents
and
said
that
she
is
not
her
child's
friend
and
doesn't
think
she
needs
to
be.
She
said,
"I
am
his
parent
and
why
can't
I
be
a
friendly
parent
and
have
a
great
time
together.
There
are
certain
things
he
will
speak
with
his
father,
with
his
aunts,
with
his
friends,
with
his
grandparents,
there
needs
to
be
an
outlet
for
healthy
relationships."
She
further
added,
"I
tell
my
kid
'you
know
technology
more
than
I
do,
but
however
grown-up
you
might
be,
your
brain
is
not
fully
formed
and
might
not
be
able
to
process
the
emotional
part
of
it',
and
that's
where
parents
come
in.
It's
an
investment
in
communication
and
it
always
pays
off."
Further
talking
about
her
son,
Ranveer,
Sonali
said
that
she
has
never
lied
to
her
kid.
She
might
have
dressed
up
the
truth,
but
has
never
lied
to
Ranveer.
She
said
that
she
can
expect
her
child
to
be
truthful,
only
if
she
follows
the
same.
"Only
reason
why
you
don't
want
to
be
completely
truthful
is
because
when
they
are
young
they
will
analyse
it
and
comprehend
it
in
a
manner
and
you
don't
want
it
to
be
'so
big' that
the
child
will
be
scarred.
So
to
make
it
a
bit
lighter
you
give
them
a
version
of
truth,"
said
Sonali.
Sonali
Bendre
leaves
no
stone
unturned
to
set
the
right
example
as
a
parent
and
we
totally
love
her
for
that!
