Sonali Bendre Talks About Her 4 Year Long Hiatus Due To Cancer And Goldie Behl’s Reaction To Her Returning To The Set
I have seen my grandma suffer from and pass away by cancer. I used to share a room with her and being one of her caretakers opened my eyes to just how painful and difficult cancer is to go through. Hence I cannot help but feel emotional when I hear about people who survived it and have gone on to lead amazing lives. One of them is actress Sonali Bendre who recently opened up about her battle against cancer and her husband, Goldie Behl’s reaction to her decision to start working again as a judge on DID Li’l Masters 5 alongside Remo D’souza and Mouni Roy.

Sonali Bendre took a break in 2018 after she was diagnosed with metastatic cancer. Now after a 4 year-long break, the actress is all ready to be seen as a judge in DID Li’l Masters 5. Sonali says that two years have been challenging for her whereas the next two years were challenging for the whole world, referring to the covid-19 pandemic. She then says that her challenge is nothing compared to what has been going on.
Sonali talks about her battle with cancer and lists everything that she is grateful for now that she has made it out of it. She says that she is grateful to be able to see her child grow up and that she is grateful to be able to be there for her parents. She then says that she is grateful for a lot of things and that she is happy to not only be healthy but be healthy enough to go on a set and work for 12 to 18 hours. Sonali says that any other way of being back wouldn’t have been as much fun. She says considering her line of work is very physical, being able to give it her all is the best thing for her.

When asked how her husband, filmmaker Goldie Behl reacted when Sonali decided to start work again she said that he was always very encouraging for her going back to work. How supportive! He apparently told her to just get back to work and had been urging her to do so for a while. She said according to Pinkvilla, “He is like, ‘you are fine, your brain is so sharp, just get back’.”
Sonali said that her husband encouraged her to start working by telling her that the way they work today is similar to how she used to work back in the 90s. He then said she would really enjoy the process of working in today’s time.
When asked if she plans to write about her experience with cancer and the last four years in a book Sonali refuted. She said that when she wrote a book earlier on parenting it used to be different. However, now that people have social media and there are blogs there is already a lot out there. With that Sonali said that unless she has something new to add to the discourse she does not plan to write anything.
