In December 2012, the Jodhpur court summoned her along with all the accused for commencement of the trial with the revised charges on 4 February 2013.[94] Although Bendre was acquitted in the blackbuck poaching case on 5 April 2018,[95] the Rajasthan High Court issued her with a notice, challenging her acquittal on 11 March 2019.[96]

"I take it as it comes. If I feel strongly about something I voice my opinion, if the director agrees fine, or let him convince me. It comes from having a relationship with the director. You talk out the scene with your directors and your co-stars."[106]
