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.A post shared by Sonali Bendre

She recently wrote about acquiring a new look, for which she thanked Priyanka Chopra for introducing her to the stylist
sin." - Al Pacino Well, it might not be my all-time favourite sin (that would be gluttony ), but who doesn't like looking good The way we
look has a profound psychological impact on us A little vanity here and there does no one any harm
It's important to do what makes you happy, even if it's something as simple as wearing a wig, bright red lipstick, high heels
All that white noise doesn't make a difference in the larger picture
No one can tell you what's right or wrong for you
When I was testing out the wigs, I had a brief moment of self-doubt "Am I vain for wanting to look good" As part of the entertainment
industry, you're always expected to look good Maybe that has been ingrained in me But then I gave it a thought and I realized I like looking
If I'm in the mood to wear a scarf, I will
If I want to walk around bald and free, I will
Only you know what would make you feel good, and what works best for you
So take every opportunity you can to #SwitchOnTheSunshine
#OneDayAtATime Thank you @priyankachopra for connecting me with the amazing @bokheehair, who created my new look.A post shared by Sonali
And in 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
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
