The entire Bollywood fraternity was stunned to know that Sonali Bendre was diagonosed with cancer. The actress who is off to New York for the treatment, is sharing little emotional moments with her fans through social media. Recently, she shared a cute picture of herself with son Ranveer. The Bollywood star posted a long heartwarming note, sharing how she broke the news of her high-grade cancer to her son and how he reacted to this heart-breaking news. The note is sure to leave you choked up and impressed on the little boy of the diva.

An excerpt from the Sarfarosh actress' caption reads, "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!"

Check out the uplifting post shared by Sonali Bendre here:

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

The Bollywood stars have been super supportive of the actress since she broke the news. Actors and fans flooded the the social media accounts with countless wishes and prayers for the actress, which we are sure will help her recover soon. The 43-year-old actress also recently shared an inspiring video of chopping her beautiful hair off which left the fans teary-eyed. We hope that the little guy stays along with his fighter mom just like he is and helps her come out of the situation soon.
