Sonali Bendre's husband Goldie Behl and their son Ranveer joined the actress in New York to celebrate Diwali together. Sonali, who is undergoing cancer treatment there, shared a set of pictures from their 'unconventional' Diwali and posted details about the way they celebrated the festival. "It was quite an unconventional one. We didn't have Indian clothes, had a small puja, but it was all heart," she wrote. In the pictures, we see the family praying to Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi idols. For the prasad, they offered a bowl of gulab jamun and dry fruits.
