Sonali Bendre took to Instagram to share yet another delightful post with her 2.7 million followers. “Let your light shine... #OneDayAtATime (sic),” she posted along with her picture.
The actress and author, who was diagnosed with metastatic
cancer
a few years ago, has been quite vocal about her struggle with the disease. Earlier, during an interview with
Bombay Times, Sonali had shared. “I realised that cancer is so rampant, and people from every strata of society started writing to me about their battle with the disease. I have heard people breaking down while telling me that they went through it without their mother, or the rest of the family knowing about it. There are so many people who hide it, and have no outlet. For me, because I had let it out, I got so much of love and support.”
“I can’t imagine myself sitting alone and going through this horror without anyone knowing about it. I would have been a nervous wreck. People have gone through years of that and hats off to them. The more I reached out and shared my stories with people; I realised that I was not alone. Keeping it all inside you and not sharing it with anyone, is worse than what the disease can do to you. Think of what you are doing to your mind! You are attacking your mental health by shutting yourself down and eventually, your mental health is what is going to see you through this. Just to know you are not alone and that you are loved can see you through this ordeal. I have had numerous people who have said that my posts have inspired them so much,” she added.
