Sonali shares her battle stories

Actress Sonali Bendre was invited as a Cheif Guest by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) FLO organization in Hyderabad for a program titled 'Switch on the Sun'. There, Sonali shared her horrific experience of being diagnosed by Caner and the strong battle she fought to survive it.

She said " I never thought it would happen to me. I just wished it all could be a bad dream. There were many rumours about me that were floating because of my cancer. Caring about them never helped me. My coming out on social media has brought in so much love from my fans and co-workers. Every cancer patient should attend counselling.

Patients should never be left alone. They should always be engaged and mingle with everyone. More than anyone, you have to speak with yourself. Cancer can hit anyone, hence the need for regular check-ups. In my life, my husband stood as a pillar for me and my cousins have helped to make this journey. Yoga and meditation have helped to become stronger. Treatment is more savage than Cancer itself. Everyone should go for a genetic test so that cancer can be identified and cured at the early stages itself.
