‘Universe Given Me Second Chance’: Sonali Bendre On starring In The Broken News
Sonali Bendre recently shared a lengthy message on Instagram about making a return with The Broken News. On Friday, the online series premiered on ZEE5.
Sharing a video, Sonali wrote, “I see this like a beginning because I think the universe has given me a second chance and I need to make good on it! “I’m no longer an accidental actor. I’m choosing to do this. I don’t have an excuse anymore if I don’t get it right. And… I’m enjoying it so much, so I definitely want to continue to do more work now.”
She added, “Whatever I do, I want to do joyfully, and that means the work environment is very important, the people around me matter a lot, I want to get along with them, have fun with them, I want to be able to enjoy what I am doing, what is the story I am telling, the character I am playing, I want to do good roles, and want to work with new artists, directors and DOPs… and embrace the work process!!”
The actor also thanked the cast and crew of The Broken News and wrote, “The Broken News has been all this and more and I have my amazing cast and crew to thank @vinaywaikul @nimishalok, @gosamm, @pragatideshmukh, @shriya.pilgaonkar, @jaideepahlawat, @indraneilsengupta, @taarukraina, @sanjeeta11, @sukhmanisadana, @zee5 @bbcstudiosindia.”
‘The Broken News,’ directed by Vinay Waikul, is about how Awaaz Bharati News and Josh 24/7, two Indian news networks, have opposite philosophies that lead to violent rivalry. Every day, Bendre’s Qureshi, a high-profile news anchor, has to deal with professional issues at work.
The show is available in three languages: Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. While they wait for an unknown future to unfold, the dynamic journalists try to maintain a sense of balance in their lives.
