Sonali Bendre's heartful message for her 12-year-old son Ranveer!

Recently, Sonali Bendre Behl took to her social media pages and disclosed that she has been diagnosed with high-grade cancer. Sonali is presently in New York City with her husband Goldie Behl and son Ranveer.

 

Sonali previously shared a photograph and a video where she chopped off her long locks owing to the treatment she is undergoing. Recently, Sonali took to her social media pages and posted a photograph posing with her son Ranveer sporting a shorter hair look.

 

In spite of getting treated for the fatal disease, Sonali's glow and beauty is still intact and she looks beautiful. Sonali shared the photograph with a heartful message for her son which reads as -

 

"From the moment he was born 12 years, 11 months and 8 days ago, my amazing @rockbehl took ownership of my heart. From then on, his happiness and wellbeing have been the centre of anything @goldiebehl and I ever did. And so, when the Big C reared its ugly head, our biggest dilemma was what and how we were going to tell him.

As much as we wanted to protect him, we knew it was important to tell him the full facts. We’ve always been open and honest with him and this time it wasn’t going to be different. He took the news so maturely… and instantly became a source of strength and positivity for me. In some situations now, he even reverses roles and takes on being the parent, reminding me of things I need to do!

 

I believe that it’s imperative to keep kids involved in a situation like this. They are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for. It’s important to spend time with them and include them, rather than make them wait on the side-lines, not being told yet instinctively knowing everything. In our effort to protect them from the pain and realities of life, we might end up doing the opposite.

 

I’m spending time with Ranveer right now, while he’s on summer vacation. His madness and shenanigans help me #SwitchOnTheSunshine. And today, we derive strength from each other #OneDayAtATime"
