Several Bollywood actors have recently come out with books or are planning to do so in the near future - among them being Anu Aggarwal, Twinkle Khanna, Emraan Hashmi, Shilpa Shetty and Shadaab Amjad Khan.
In her book "The Modern Gurukul: My Experiments with Parenting", Behl shares her three principles of parenting which she says will help find a balance between tradition and modernity, and show how to raise a child in the digital age.
When Behl's son Ranveer was born in 2005, she gave up her career to play the role of a mother in real life. It was only after her son started going to school and she was confident of the quality of time she spent with him that she resumed her career.
She has since appeared on television as a judge on shows like "Indian Idol", "India's Got Talent", "Hindustan Ke Hunarbaaz" and "India's Best Dramebaaz", and a daily sitcom with Balaji Productions called "Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh".
