messages have been pouring in for Sonali Bendre, who is suffering from high
grade cancer, and currently undergoing treatment in New York. Vivek Oberoi,
Sonali’s co-judge on the show India's Best Dramebaaz has revealed that the
actress was in acute pain while shooting the episodes.
“Sonali is a
good friend of mine and her husband Goldie Behl was my classmate in school.
This time around when we shooting for India's Best Dramebaaz show, Sonali used
to complain about suffering from pain in body and hands,” said Vivek while
talking to Zee News.
Vivek says he
advised Sonali to get a complete check-up done and undergo medical treatment.
After the actress run the tests, it came to light that she is suffering from
cancer. “I am in constant touch with the actress as well as her husband through
messages”, said Vivek.
“She is a very
brave a courageous woman and I am sure she will fight it out and win the
battle. She will come out as a winner and stay fit”, added Sonali’s co-judge.
Umang Kumar,
another judge on the show said he was shocked to learn about her illness. “I
got to know about her illness through radio and am praying of her wellbeing”,
said the filmmaker.
Sonali has been
replaced by actress Huma Qureshi on the show India’s Next Dramebaaz.
Sonali Bendre has
left everyone inspired with the way she is fighting cancer. The actress broke the unfortunate
news to the world on July 4 and since then, has been taking
each day head on. Here’s another picture of the actress that surfaced on the
Internet after she shared an emotional post about
breaking the news of cancer to her son.
She wrote, “From
the moment he was born 12 years, 11 months and 8 days ago, my amazing @rockbehl
took ownership of my heart. From then on, his happiness and wellbeing have been
the centre of anything @goldiebehl and I ever did. And so, when the Big C
reared its ugly head, our biggest dilemma was what and how we were going to
tell him.
As much as we
wanted to protect him, we knew it was important to tell him the full facts.
We’ve always been open and honest with him and this time it wasn’t going to be
different. He took the news so maturely… and instantly became a source of
strength and positivity for me. In some situations now, he even reverses roles
and takes on being the parent, reminding me of things I need to do!
I believe that
it’s imperative to keep kids involved in a situation like this. They are a lot
more resilient than we give them credit for. It’s important to spend time with
them and include them, rather than make them wait on the side-lines, not being
told yet instinctively knowing everything. In our effort to protect them from
the pain and realities of life, we might end up doing the opposite.
I’m spending time
with Ranveer right now, while he’s on summer vacation. His madness and
shenanigans help me #SwitchOnTheSunshine. And today, we derive strength from
each other #OneDayAtATime”.
On July 10, Sonali shared her first pictures from
New York with her new hair cut. She also posted a video of herself
at the salon getting rid of her luscious locks.
