Goldie Behl Shares Heartfelt Message For Sonali Bendre on B’Day

The two partied with friends such as Hrithik Roshan and Kunal Kapoor.

Sonali Bendre turns a year older on 1 January. Her husband Goldie Behl took the opportunity to acknowledge the strength and grace with which the actor, who has been undergoing treatment for metastatic cancer, has overcome the obstacles of the past year. He wrote:

2018 was a tough year on you but I am so proud of the dignity and courage with which you handled it. Not only did you help me find my own strength, but you imparted that to every soul who followed your life closely. It is never easy to be at the receiving end and yet be so positive and spread so much love.

Sonali brought in her birthday and the New Year with friends and family. Actors Hrithik Roshan and Kunal Kapoor were among those present. Check out pics here:

Sonali recently returned to India after a prolonged stay in the US where she sought treatment. All through her journey Sonali has never shied away from sharing her ups and downs with fans via social media. She even went so far as to share several photos of herself with her head shave, something which most women - celebrity or not - would hesitate to do.
