Sonali Bendre on beating cancer: “I am just grateful that I am back, grateful that I can see my child grow up”

Actress Sonali Bendre’s fight with cancer is well-documented. The actress was with the disease back in 2018 and she spent many months in New York for treatment. After four years, the actress has at last got back to work, as a judge on the reality show DID Li’l Masters. In an interview, Sonali talked about her fight with the deadly disease her decision to continue working.

Talking to Pinkvilla, Sonali said, “I am just grateful that I am back, grateful that I can see my child grow up, and grateful that I can be here for my parents, just all those things. I am grateful for so much. And yes, not just back, but back in a way where you are healthy enough to go and sit on a set and work for 12 to 18 hours, now that is really being back. Any other way of being back would be so wishy-washy and wouldn’t be so much fun.”

Sonali is hitched to filmmaker Goldie Behl. The actress says that Goldie has not just been supportive of her decision to get back to work, he has actually been pushing her to do it sooner. She said, “He has been asking me to do this much earlier. He is like, ‘you are fine, your brain is so sharp, just get back’. He has been telling me, ‘you should get back to work’.”
