After receiving treatment in New York Sonali Bendre returned to India and shared her journey on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. sharing the magazine’s front cover that she wrote ‘The way our experiences affect or mould us cannot be determined in a single way.

Even though some transformations are not immediately apparent they always have an effect. I’ve come to realise that I should never let it stop me. I’d rather put on some clothes and go! I would characterise my day as ‘shooting for the @bazaarindia cover’ in that way.’

In her interview with the magazine, Sonali recalled the day her doctor first told her that she had cancer in her body. So when my PET [Positron Emission Tomography] scan showed up cancer had spread all over my abdomen like fairy lights scattered all over and when the doctor in New York said that there was about a 30% chance of it all going away we were shattered the actor continued she and her family never lost hope even though she had only a 30% chance of survival.

‘But the thought of death didn’t come to me. I thought this was going to be a long struggle but I never thought I’d die ‘ she remarked. Sonali Bendre further explained that the changes to her physical appearance during her battle with cancer were the worst experience of her life in an interview with Mashable India. She discussed the surgical procedure she had in New York which left her with a 23–24 inch scar all over her body. Her doctors advised her to start walking as soon as possible because they were worried she might contract a disease that wouldn’t respond to treatment. She said ‘The first thing my doctors told me is that we want you out of the hospital as quickly as possible.

SonaliBendreStruggles03We are always impressed by Sonali Bendre’s upbeat attitude and good spirit. She described how challenging the entire experience had been for her and her husband. ‘Goldie and I refer to BC and AC which stand for before and after cancer respectively. You experience something and pick up some lessons. And it’s really sad if you haven’t learned them. I believe there were a few lessons to be learned from it (the cancer diagnosis).
