Sonali Bendre, who battled cancer, wrote about "a small pit stop from the roller coaster we call life" and shared a picture on Instagram, which appears to be from one of her post-treatment check-ups. The 44-year-old actress posed for the picture with a wide smile on her face and wrote: "Another kind of outfit and another kind of accessory... just a small pit stop from the roller coaster we call life! Back home and back to #MyNewNormal#OneDayAtATime #SwitchOnTheSunshine." Sonali Bendre was diagnosed with cancer in July 2018 and after being treated in the US for several months, she returned to India in December.
When she returned to India, Sonali Bendre's husband Goldie Bahl told news agency ANI that though her treatment was over, Sonali will have regular check-ups. "She is back for good. She is recovering very well. For now, treatment has ended. But the disease can come back so regular check-ups will be done," Goldie Behl had been quoted as saying. It appears, that this post is from one of the check-ups.
