Actress Sonali Bendre reveals that she spent an entire night crying when she was diagnosed with cancer, while her husband Goldie Behl helped her cope with the devastating news.
In July 2018, Sonali shared that she was diagnosed with “high-grade cancer” following which she underwent treatment in New York.
Sonali recently appeared on a talk show alongside her friend and entrepreneur Sussanne Khan. The actress shared her initial journey through cancer on the show.
“After I spent the entire night coming to terms with it, I got up and decided now no more crying and weeping. From now on, there will be happiness. I saw the sun coming up, clicked a picture and shared it with my family and my girls, and said, ‘Girls, Switch on the Sunshine”
“Goldie and I are married for 16 years. And when I came to know about cancer, I realised Goldie is the most important person I care about,” Sonali said.
To which Sussanne added: “Our kids are so mature and understanding, they were there with Ranveer (Sonali’s son) all the time.”
Sonali also shared an anecdote about her time in New York with her friends when she was going through treatment for cancer.
“We decided, let’s make the most of this. We spent some time in New York. We were there with kids. They were amazing. The girls (Sussanne and Gayatri) went, dropped the kids to school, and came back. Then it was just us and we really enjoyed the city. There was a little bit of chemo, surgery has thrown in between but we had fun.”
Talking about the current film industry, Sonali said: “I love the stories that are being told now. With multiplexes coming, there is so much diversity. Now you have stories that are being told in different ways.”
