MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre has been dealing with cancer with a positive attitude. She even shares inspiring posts on her social media account.

Sonali has opened another page from her journey since she was diagnosed.

The actress recently shared how difficult it was for her to open up about her disease to her son. In a poignant yet empowering post, Sonali spoke about her son reacted to the news of her disease.

‘Our biggest dilemma was what and how we were going to tell him. 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…’

Have a look at the complete post below.

 

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
