She added, "It's so easy to talk about film and film people. They are soft targets. I would have more respect for the movement if it went across equally for everything and everybody who actually went through it. Then I would have more respect for it."

Talking about her equation with journalists, Sonali shared, “From my point of view, most of the time I saw them as adversaries. They were always on your set and usually were catering to somebody on the set. Hence they were definitely not catering to me. It never served the purpose to put my point of view across or that I could have one. So I've had a very adversarial equation with the journalists.”

However, after playing the role of a news anchor in 'The Broken News', her perception about the profession and what journalists have to go through changed. “But today, after doing Broken News, I really understand the kind of pressures that journalists go through. What is being read is what we need to provide. A rookie reporter probably will take a story to the editor who will say, 'yeh kya boring cheez hai, yeh affair kiske saath hai woh lao'. It will probably be thrown at them. So I understand that now and so there's a lot of respect," she said.
