SONALI: MESSAGE OF HOPE

ACTRESS Sonali Bendre shared this photograph (above) on social media, taken by Hrithik Roshan, with close friends Gayatri Oberoi and Sussanne Khan, along with an inspirational

message of hope.


The star thanked her friends for supporting her while she receives treatment for a high-grade cancer in New York and also embraced becoming bald because of the chemotherapy.

She wrote: “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.”
