When Indian Actor Sonali Bendre revealed on twitter that she has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer, the ‘Sarfarosh’ star received an outpouring of wishes and support, from the Bollywood community as well as her numerous fans from all over the world.
And now Bendre has shared how ‘each day comes with its own challenges and victories’. Along with the post, Sonali has shared her photos where she looks all vibrant and confident about her victory in the battle against cancer.
Her post reads, “In the words of my favourite author Isabel Allende, “We don’t even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome.”
Summing it up, Bendre adds, “Each day comes with its own challenges and victories and so for now, I’m taking this #OneDayAtATime. The only thing I’m trying to be consistent about is maintaining a positive outlook… literally #SwitchOnTheSunshine – it’s my way of dealing with this. Sharing my journey is also part of this process… I can only hope it reminds you that all is not lost and that someone, somewhere understands what you’re going through.”
As soon as the actor posted the photos and the video, Karan Johar and Bollywood Ekta Kapoor appreciated her look. Karan commented, “You are amazing Sonali!!!Strong and Solid! A true inspiration!” Suzanne Khan wrote, “Ur my gorgeous warrior friend I love you to the moon and we are gonna beat this.”
