After Irrfan Khan we have another Bollywood star, Sonali Bendre, revealing distressing news that she is diagnosed from high grade cancer. The Sarfarosh actor informed her fans and followers on Instagram with a picture sitting next to her husband Goldie Behl.
Thanking her family and friends for their love and support, Sonali wrote this in her post- ‘Sometimes, when you least expect it, life throws you a curveball. I have recently been diagnosed with a high grade cancer that has metastised, which we frankly didn’t see coming. A niggling pain led to some tests, which led to this unexpected diagnosis. My family and close friends have rallied around me, providing the best support system that anyone can ask for. I am very blessed and thankful for each of them.
There is no better way to tackle this, than to take swift and immediate action. And so, as advised by my doctors, I am currently undergoing a course of treatment in New York. We remain optimistic and I am determined to fight every step of the way. What has helped has been the immense outpouring of love and support I’ve received over the past few days, for which I am very grateful.
I’m taking this battle head on, knowing I have the strength of my family and friends behind me.’
The 43 year old actor began her career in 1994 with K Ravi Shankar’s Aag, and glided towards fame with her roles in over 45 films in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
Sonali, one of the three judges on the latest season of India’s Best Dramebaaz along with Vivek Oberoi and Omung Kumar, is undergoing treatments in New York and all her fans are praying for her health and recovery. We are waiting for more details of her illness but till then, we hope she recovers from the disease. Watch this space for more.
