Actress Sonali Bendre, who returned to India after cancer treatment in the US, collaborated with her son Ranveer for an event related to her book club.

The event was streamed live on Facebook. "Thank you, Ranveer for recommending Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel and for discussing this with me for SBC. Thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and I hope our readers did too! Looking forward to growing with you as we continue to read many more books together," Sonali Bendre captioned a Boomerang video of herself with Ranveer.

As we come close to the end of another year, it's amazing to see how much this book club has grown and how I can see tangible effects. After my son hosted his first SBC Live, he's become more enthusiastic about reading, so much so that he has now recommended a book for us! So the next book for #SBC is Half Brother by @kenneth.oppel. I'm really excited as it's the first mom-son collaboration on the book club, and I'm looking forward to exploring this book with you all! #TheFamilyThatReadsTogether #SonalisBookClub @sonalisbookclub

When she was in the US, Ranveer had organised an event for Sonali's Book Club and she couldn't be more proud of her son.

Sonali's friends Dia Mirza, Sussanne Khan and Gayatri Joshi also took over the club in her absence. In August, the trio organised for a conversation as part of Sonali's Book Club.

Sonali Bendre returned to India in December. The cancer treatment is complete for now, but she will have regular check-ups. In July, she revealed that she has been diagnosed with "high grade cancer." "Sometimes, when you least expect it, life throws you a curveball. I have recently been diagnosed with a high grade cancer that has metastised, which we frankly did not see coming," read an excrept from her post.

Sometimes, when you least expect it, life throws you a curveball. I have recently been diagnosed with a high grade cancer that has metastised, which we frankly did not see coming. A niggling pain led to some tests, which led to this unexpected diagnosis. My family and close friends have rallied around me, providing the best support system that anyone can ask for. I am very blessed and thankful for each of them. There is no better way to tackle this, than to take swift and immediate action. And so, as advised by my doctors, I am currently undergoing a course of treatment in New York. We remain optimistic and I am determined to fight every step of the way. What has helped has been the immense outpouring of love and support I've received over the past few days, for which I am very grateful. I'm taking this battle head on, knowing I have the strength of my family and friends behind me.
