What's the story

A short while ago, Sonali Bendre posted a video on her son Ranveer's birthday and wrote a heartfelt message. Unfortunately, the actress couldn't be with her son, who turned 13 today, as she is recuperating from cancer in the United States. While she must obviously be sad about missing her son's birthday, Sonali ensured her post told Ranveer how much she loved him.

The post

Sonali can't believe her son is 13 already

The video which Sonali posted featured photos of the mother-son duo spending quality time. Sonali wrote that she needed time to accept the fact that Ranveer turned 13, a teenager. She then wrote how proud she was of her son's wit, strength, humor, kindness, and even mischief. "Happy happy birthday, my not-so-little one," wrote Sonali, and added she missed her son a lot.

Happy birthday Ranveer: Here is Sonali's post

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! @rockbehl

Telling him

Breaking cancer news to Ranveer, wasn't easy for Sonali

Ranveer was with her mother in the States during her initial days in treatment but had to return as his vacations got over. Earlier, Sonali explained how it was difficult for her to break the news to her son. She said keeping children in dark, in matters like these, wasn't the best idea. Sonali said Ranveer took her illness news maturely.

The battle

Sonali Bendre has switched on the sunshine

Sonali Bendre has decided to not abandon positivity in her battle against cancer. She keeps her fans updated with what's happening. She said she made 'Switching On The Sunshine' her mantra and for now was taking it one day a time. Husband Goldie Behl revealed a few days ago that she was responding to treatment well, and there weren't any complications till now.
