Words often have the power to crush or lift spirits, depending on how they’re used. In actress Sonali Bendre’s life right now, this plays a rather important part.
Sonali Bendre left the industry and the entire nation shocked when she announced about her ‘high-grade cancer’ that had now metastised.
But her words were not for inspiring pity or sadness. They displayed her immense strength and resolve to fight the battle, and grab every chance she had to emerge victorious.
While Sonali is currently in New York, undergoing treatment, the support pouring in for her has been tremendous. Yet again, these are words that have the power to inspire.
And sending Sonali such words of support, strength and love was fellow Bollywood actress and a cancer survivor herself, Lisa Ray.
Dear @iamsonalibendre you are in my thoughts. Words often fall short and I’ve learned that okay, but I do want to send love.

In 2009, Lisa was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare form of cancer of the plasma cells that is not completely curable. After undergoing stem cell transplant for almost a year, she announced in 2010 that she was cancer-free.
Another Bollywood actress and survivor of a cancer battle, Manisha Koirala, too had sent in her love and prayers. Sonali even called Manisha her ‘inspiration’.
Thank you Manisha you are my inspiration 💕🙏🤞🌞 https://t.co/tVMjPJr9J9

Manisha’s ovarian cancer was diagnosed back in 2012, after which she underwent chemotherapy and a surgery in New York. She has been cancer-free for five years now.
Speaking from her own experiences, Manisha replied to Sonali’s tweet by assuring her that she will emerge even brighter from her tussle with the disease.

It is heartening to see the love and support that these strong women are providing each other at the time of utmost need. A battle with this disease is an uphill battle that is not in any way easy. And to receive such encouragement and love from fellow fighters is exactly the thing that can inspire Sonali Bendre to fight on.
