He took my heart when he was born: Bendre
Giving an insight about the relationship she shares with her son, Bendre wrote Ranveer took 'ownership' of her heart the moment he was born, almost 13 years ago.

"He took the news so maturely... and instantly became a source of strength and positivity for me," she wrote. She added sometimes Ranveer acted like a parent and reminded her of things she needed to do.
Further, Bendre tells why keeping kids in dark is wrong
