Sonali Bendre has documented every step of her progress in her cancer-treatment and shared the same with her fans on her Instagram handle.
The actress and television judge has been inspiring folks with her spirited messages and positive outlook, while dealing with the illness and receiving treatment for the same in New York.
Be it the change in her appearance – after letting go of her hair, or the physical toll that the strenuous treatment of the disease generally takes on one’s body, Sonali is sailing through it like a pro – and is motivating other folks to continue to fight their own battles in the same spirit.
The 43 year old recently shared pictures of her Diwali celebrations with Family in New York, and they were filled with as much light and warmth as the festival could offer.

The festivities may not have been as ‘grand’ as it would have been back at her home in Mumbai, but Bendre was surrounded by her family (her husband Goldie Behl and their son) and celebrated a ‘low-key’ but beautiful Diwali, with diyas, candles and some prayers.
Diwali in New York happens much later than in Mumbai… Hence the late wish! It was quite an unconventional one… We didn’t have Indian clothes, we had a small puja… But it was all heart. Happy Diwali everyone! May this year bring you good health, wealth and prosperity… Hope you celebrated this festival with your family and friends, and hope you cherish every moment of happiness with them!
