This is a great way of reconnecting with books and interesting stories and engage in stimulation conversation and discussions.”The former actress who continues to remain one of the most loved personalities on television will also be involving children ,suggesting books for them and discussing them, to inculcate a strong habit of reading in them from a young age.Sonali will also be involving her son Ranveer in the hope to encourage him to read more – Says Sonali, “He does read, but not as much as I’d like him to, so I am hoping that by setting this example, he develops a love for reading and not just read as part of his schooling or curriculum. I am involving him in the book reading club. Hopefully, he will read these books, too, if time permits from his studies.”
