Actress Sonali Bendre, who is battling cancer in New York, wished her son Ranveer Behl on his 13th birthday through an adorable Instagram post. She posted a video with a series of photos with her ‘not-so-little-one’.
She wrote, “Ranveeeeer! My sun, my moon, my stars, my sky… Okay, maybe I’m being a bit melodramatic, but your 13th birthday deserves this. Wow, you’re a teenager now… Will need some time to wrap my head around that fact. I can’t tell you enough how proud I am of you… Your wit, your humour, your strength, your kindness, and even your mischief. Happy happy birthday, my not-so-little one. It’s the first one that we’re not together… I miss you terribly. Lots and lots of love always and forever…. biiiiig hug!”
Sonali has mentioned it before that Ranveer has always been a pillar of strength for her, especially during this testing time of her life. She also shared the news of her suffering from cancer with her son. She wrote, “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.”
Her husband, Goldi Behl, updated about her health status through Twitter. His tweet said, “Thank you all for the love and support for Sonali… she is stable and is following her treatment without any complications. This is a long journey but we have begun positively.”
