Actress Sonali Bendre Diagnosed With Cancer, Shares Heartfelt Post On Instagram

For every 90’s kid, Sonali Bendre is a name that brings out a flood of happy memories. She’s dazzled on the silver screen in cult classics like Hum Saath Saath Hain and Gaddaar. With her pretty face and ace acting skills, she found a niche spot in the industry. Her recent revelation broke our heart a little…

Sonali Bendre shared a photo on Instagram revealing that she has been diagnosed with cancer. Talking about how the terminal disease caught her by surprise she said, “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.”

It all started with minor pain and a few tests later she learned that it was cancer that was causing trouble. However, she has chosen to fight it and is undergoing treatment in New York. 

Her entire statement was shared along with a photograph on social media where she’s thanked her near and dear ones who have stood by her during this difficult time. Read her full post below:

“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.”

Earlier this year, actor Irrfan Khan publicly spoke about fighting a rare disease, neuroendocrine tumor. He is undergoing treatment in the States too. 

Our prayers are with Sonali Bendre and her family. We are sending all our love and good wishes to them to deal with his hard time. “The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.” May these words give them strength and hope!
