Ever since being diagnosed with cancer, Sonali Bendre has lost no chance to remind the ones who matter of how much they mean to her. And given how supportive her friends and family have been throughout the ordeal, it is understandable why. Her husband has been by her side right from the beginning and has been an unwavering source for the actress. Not to mention how her friends have taken time out of their schedule to meet her as often as possible and even kept her book club alive and running, even in her absence.
But the one person who has been her biggest source of positivity is her son Ranveer. The young boy has really stepped up and acted far beyond his age to bring a smile to his mother’s face at every chance possible.
Having to learn of your parent suffering from a terminal illness is something that affects us no matter how old we are. So we can imagine just how difficult it must be to deal with such news as a teenager. And yet, Ranveer has handled it with a grace that’s reminiscent of his mother’s elegance.
Noone knows this better than Sonali and today on his 13th birthday, the loving mother spilt out her heart for him.
Sharing a video montage of herself and Ranveer, she wrote:
“Ranveeeeer! My sun, my moon, my stars, my sky… Okay, maybe I’m being a bit melodramatic, but your 13th birthday deserves this. Wow, you’re a teenager now… Will need some time to wrap my head around that fact.
I can’t tell you enough how proud I am of you… Your wit, your humour, your strength, your kindness, and even your mischief. Happy happy birthday, my not-so-little one. It’s the first one that we’re not together… I miss you terribly.
Lots and lots of love always and forever…. biiiiig hug!”
Awww… This makes me miss my mom.
Ranveer who was with Sonali in New York for a while has recently returned to Mumbai and will be spending his birthday away from his mom.
Here’s the video shared by Sonali for her moon and stars:
How adorable do they look together?! Ranveer is shaping up to be a handsome young man, and based on the way he has carried himself throughout all of this, he’s quite the gentleman too. Happy birthday, Ranveer!
