\"\"Bollywood actor Sonali Bendre's battle with cancer is well-documented. The actor was diagnosed with the disease back in 2018 and she spent several months in New York for treatment.

Speaking to Pinkvilla, Sonali said, \u201cI am just grateful that I am back, grateful that I can see my child grow up, and grateful that I can be here for my parents. And yes, not just back, but back in a way where you are healthy enough to go and sit on a set and work for 12 to 18 hours, now that is really being back.”<\/p>\n

The actor says that her husband filmmaker Goldie Behl has not just been supportive of her decision to return to work, he has actually been pushing her to do it sooner. She said, “He has been asking me to do this much earlier. He is like, \u2018you are fine, your brain is so sharp, just get back\u2019.”<\/p>\n

After making her debut with Naraaz in 1994, Sonali went on to act in several successful films like Sarfarosh, Diljale, and Hum Saath Saath Hain, before taking a break from acting in the early 2000s. She returned to the spotlight a few years later as the judge of reality show Indian Idol in 2008. Through the next decade, she appeared as a judge on a number of reality shows like India's Got Talent, Hindustan ke Hunarbaaz, and India's Best Dramebaaz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
