Sonali Bendre Goes Bald And She’s Flaunting It Like A True Fighter

1152 views

Sonali Bendre’s medical condition was declared to be not so good as she’s been diagnosed with metastatic cancer. This is a type of cancer that spreads into the other parts of the body by the bloodstream from the original area of cancer.

After which, everyone from Bollywood fraternity sent her prayers and wishes. They called her a true “fighter” after she chopped her hair short from the long beautiful locks. She later told her son about her condition, and how he very maturely understood.

It’s been a month since she’s been diagnosed with this dangerous disease, but a good news has just arrived.

Sonali’s husband tweeted about how she’s doing good and is in stable condition

The beautiful soul that she is! We have never seen someone with this positive spirit when battling with something so unpredictable

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

This is what she wrote and she’s happy at the moment. What else could be better than this?

“This is me. And at this moment, I am really happy. People give me strange looks when I say that now, but it’s true and I’ll tell you why. I am now paying attention to every moment, looking for every opportunity to find joy and #SwitchOnTheSunshine. Yes, there are moments of pain and low energy, but I am doing what I like, spending time with people I love, and feeling very loved and happy. I am extremely grateful to my friends, my pillars of strength, who at a moment’s notice, arrived to be with me and help me through this. In between their busy schedules they find time to visit, call, message, FaceTime… basically never leaving a moment for me to feel alone. Thank you for showing me what true friendship is. #HappyFriendshipDay, ladies. Blessed to have you all in my life (including the ones not in the picture… You know who you are) @gayatrioberoi@suzkr
P.S. Nowadays I spend far less time getting ready because I don’t have to fuss over my hair! :p #BaldIsBeautiful#FindThePositive #OneDayAtATime”

Aaaannnd just a day ago she posted on her Instagram that shocked and people but filled joy as well!

The journey is tough but she’s a fighter. A happy one! This smile of hers is priceless and timeless!

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.” The outpouring of love I’ve received in the last few days has been so overwhelming… and I’m especially grateful to those of you who shared stories of your experiences in dealing with cancer, whether it was your own or of loved ones. Your stories have given me an extra dosage of strength and courage, and more importantly, the knowledge that I’m not alone. 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. ?? Thank you @tomoarakawa for making this a chic transition from long to short!

The badass she is!

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 did not 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.

We pray that like Sonali, Irrfan too gets out of this lethal disease and declares it a win! Sonali and Irrfan are true inspirations, their overlook in life in this tough time is just amazing. They are being positive and looking at life from a different angle; irrespective of the healing that they are receiving through medicine. They are healing spiritually. May God protect you both!
