Sonali Bendre Shares heart-felt post

New York, July 10: Bollywood Actress Sonali Bendre, who is currently being treated for cancer in New York, a while ago updated her Instagram with a new post for fans and followers, in which she wrote about "challenges" and "victories."

From this perspective, the actress said she is overwhelmed with the love and blessings she's received after revealing she's been diagnosed with cancer and highlighted how the many inspiring stories of cancer survivors has helped her remain strong and maintain positivity during such a difficult time.

"Your stories have given me an extra dosage of strength and courage, and more importantly, the knowledge that I'm not alone," reads a part of her post. Sonali Bendre also revealed that she now sports shorter hair, photos of which accompany her heartfelt post.

"The outpouring of love I've received in the last few days has been so overwhelming... and I'm especially grateful to those of you who shared stories of your experiences in dealing with cancer, whether it was your own or of loved ones," she further added.

Sonali wants to share the details of her journey with her fans and wants them to remain to be hopeful in life. "Sharing my journey is also part of this process. I can only hope it reminds you that all is not lost and that someone, somewhere understands what you're going through," she concluded.

In the words of my favourite author Isabel Allende, “We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome.” The outpouring of love I’ve received in the last few days has been so overwhelming… and I’m especially grateful to those of you who shared stories of your experiences in dealing with cancer, whether it was your own or of loved ones. Your stories have given me an extra dosage of strength and courage, and more importantly, the knowledge that I’m not alone. Each day comes with its own challenges and victories and so for now, I’m taking this #OneDayAtATime. The only thing I’m trying to be consistent about is maintaining a positive outlook... literally #SwitchOnTheSunshine - it’s my way of dealing with this. Sharing my journey is also part of this process... I can only hope it reminds you that all is not lost and that someone, somewhere understands what you’re going through.
