Sonali Bendre, who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer in New York, attended Priyanka Chopra’s bridal shower with Neetu Kapoor. The yesteryear actors posed for a happy picture with the bride-to-be, who was dressed in a white wedding-like gown, in bright red outfits.
It was after a long time that Sonali sported such a bright colour and she says, 'it felt somewhat strange'. Red is the colour of rebirth and we hope this brings about a positive change in her life.
Sonali shared a candid picture from the party on her Instagram account along with a heartwarming caption, “It’s always lovely to be part of someone’s special moment and more so when it’s a dear friend. What a fabulous evening @priyankachopra!!! Your bridal shower was filled with so much love and laughter. I wish all that and more for you as you take this next big step. Big hug and much love. P.S. it felt so great and also somewhat strange to wear a bright colour again! #RedIsTheColourOfRebirth.”
Earlier, Neetu had also shared a few pictures from the party with the caption, ”Lovely evening at Tiffany’s #priyankabridalshower @iamsonalibendre.”
It is to be recalled, Sonali had earlier thanked Priyanka in a social media post for helping her find the perfect wig. The actor has lost her hair due to chemotherapy and has been sporting a stylish wig.
In early July this year, Sonali shared with the world that she had been diagnosed with cancer, one that has metastised and that she would be undergoing treatment in New York. Sonali keeps updating her fans about her struggle and in early October, sharing a bald picture of hers, she had written how “there have been days when I’ve been so exhausted and in so much pain that even lifting a finger hurt”.
However, she is 'ready to get back to normal life' as per Namrata Shirodakar, who recently met her in NYC.
“She is a strong girl. She looks amazingly fit and ready to get back to normal life. I had such a lovely time with her. We discussed so many things. She told me the entire story of her illness and what gives her the strength, and I told her that she’s always in my prayers," Namrata told Deccan Chronicle while speaking about her experience of meeting Sonali.
Namrata added that the two of them shared a deep bond and that they were “typically Maharashtrian in so many ways” and that they “laughed about some shared recollections of the past”.
