Actress Sonali Bendre says whenever she goes through a stressful period, she reads fantasy fiction books.
The actress, who had penned the book "The Modern Gurukul: My Experiments with Parenting" last year, attended the launch of author Anusha Subramanian's book "Never Gone" on Wednesday at the Crossword Bookstores here.
Asked is there is any particular genre that she would like to read or would want her son Ranveer to read, she said: "Whenever I go through a stressful or hard period, I binge on fantasy fiction, come out refreshed and face the world. There are lot of genres that I read depending on what catches my attention, but ever since I became a mother, the reading habit has become kind of dodgy..."
As far as her son is concerned, she is just happy "if he reads whatever he reads is great because I love books".
"My father was in the government service and we would get transferred every two years. My best friends have been my books. I felt that I could relate to a lot of stuff and mentally, I could deal with a lot of stuff because I was reading so much so I would love him to have this habit," said the actress, who became a mother in 2005.
