Sonali Bendre’s gruelling battle with cancer might have ended, but the strength that she pocketed during this period, is to stay for life. Throughout her journey to recovery, she kept sharing moments of both bravery and weakness, injecting hope in hundreds of other people also fighting similar battles. One such moment was when she chopped off her lustrous hair ahead of chemotherapy, and appeared with a bald head without any hesitation.
Sonali recently spoke to Kareena Kapoor Khan for the latter’s chat show What Women Want, and shared why she did not opt for a wig. She shared the teaser on her Instagram story. “I really had my wig and everything planned and I will put it on. It was so awkward siting in a wheelchair. I said, ‘You know? I don’t want to be in a wheelchair’. I am tired and I don’t want it. I said ‘you know what? Chuck it. This is what it is’,” she is heard saying.
Sonali, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2018, revealed in an earlier interview that she did not want to fly to New York for her treatment and it was husband Goldie Behl who insisted, and organised everything through the entire duration.
