Sonali Bendre is staying strong, says family as husband shares a happy photo of son

Sonali Bendre had revealed last month that she was diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatment in New York.

Sonali Bendre is determined to fight cancer with a positive outlook and with her family by her side. Days after the actor shared a photo with her son and called him ‘her strength’, Sonali’s husband also posted a photo of son Ranveer. The 12-year-old is seen smiling in the picture and he is seen with a friend.

Sonali is in New York as she gets treated for ‘high grade’ cancer that has metastised. Her family is also with her. In response to a query by Spotboye about how Sonali is doing, her sister-in-law Shrishti Arya said, “She is staying strong.”

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!” she had written.

Emphasising that children should be involved in a situation like this, she added, “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.”
