Sonali Bendre breaks silence viral videos with Raj Thackeray and gossip around it, reveals if he ever had a crush on her: 'There are families involved, it's not in good taste'

Sonali Bendre and Raj Thackeray were spotted at an event together and people went crazy with the video edits. They compared Sonali and Raj's new video with their old one when they welcomed Michael Jackson to India. Many people speculated that the politician always had a crush on her and some even speculated about rumours that they were together earlier. The internet clearly didn't keep calm. The 'Sarfarosh' actress has finally broken silence on these viral videos and her connection with Thackeray and his family.When asked about these videos which claimed that Raj allegedly has a crush on her, Sonali said, "Did he… I doubt it," and she further clarified, “I was talking to my sister who was right there."Criticising all the gossip and chatter, she said, "I don’t know. I mean, a lot of people… I think it’s just not in very good taste when people talk about it like that. First of all, I mean, there are families involved and people involved in all of that."She further explained how her family and Raj's family are connected for many years now. She explained, "Other than the fact that my brother-in-law and my sister… my brother-in-law who’s a cricketer and hence used to play cricket with Raj’s cousin… Sister’s husband and they always played together. Secondly, my sister’s mother-in-law was the head of the department that taught us English literature in the (Ramnarain) Ruia College, which I’m from." She added, "So they all knew each other. For me, the connection was that Sharmila, Raj’s wife, her mother, and my Maasi were best friends. Her mother has held me for 10 days because you know how, oh, her, my mother’s younger sister, Maasi. So when she delivered Raj, they all came laughing. Oh, her elder sister’s baby. Let’s go and see the baby. They’ve come to the hospital and seen me. So literally, that’s the kind of connection."She added further, "I’ve always travelled around… It’s not something that I know them beyond a point because I came into Maharashtra only once in two years during summer holidays or something like that."Sonali also said that she has no ambition to get into politics. "I think you need a lot of very thick skin for it, which I don’t have… and I’m not politically correct… unfortunately."
