And now, the media portal has reached out to Sonali’s husband, Goldie Behl. In a WhatsApp conversation with Goldie, SpotboyE asked him if he could say a few lines on Sonali to which Goldie replied, “Thank you bro for the love and support for Sonali…she is stable and following her treatment without any complications. This is a long journey but we have begun positively”.
It’s so good to hear this from the hubby himself and we can’t thank God enough for this news. It’s such a relief that Sonali is all well. On July 04, Sonali took to her social media handle and wrote, “Sometimes, when you least expect it, life throws you a curveball. I have recently been diagnosed with a high grade cancer that has metastised, which we frankly did not see coming. A niggling pain led to some tests, which led to this unexpected diagnosis. My family and close friends have rallied around me, providing the best support system that anyone can ask for. I am very blessed and thankful for each of them”.
She further wrote, “There is no better way to tackle this, than to take swift and immediate action. And so, as advised by my doctors, I am currently undergoing a course of treatment in New York. We remain optimistic and I am determined to fight every step of the way. What has helped has been the immense outpouring of love and support I’ve received over the past few days, for which I am very grateful. I’m taking this battle head on, knowing I have the strength of my family and friends behind me”. (Suggested Read: Sonali Bendre And Goldie Behl's Love Story Is A Beautiful Tale Of Accidental Love)
This news not only shocked her fans and media but must have affected Sonali’s family as well. In a July 19 post, Sonali shared a pic with her 12-year-old son, Ranveer Behl, and wrote, “From the moment he was born 12 years, 11 months and 8 days ago, my amazing @rockbehl took ownership of my heart. From then on, his happiness and wellbeing have been the centre of anything @goldiebehl and I ever did. And so, when the Big C reared its ugly head, our biggest dilemma was what and how we were going to tell him”.

The post could be further read as, “As much as we wanted to protect him, we knew it was important to tell him the full facts. We’ve always been open and honest with him and this time it wasn’t going to be different. He took the news so maturely… and instantly became a source of strength and positivity for me. In some situations now, he even reverses roles and takes on being the parent, reminding me of things I need to do!”
And it goes on, “I believe that it’s imperative to keep kids involved in a situation like this. They are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for. It’s important to spend time with them and include them, rather than make them wait on the side-lines, not being told yet instinctively knowing everything. In our effort to protect them from the pain and realities of life, we might end up doing the opposite. I’m spending time with Ranveer right now, while he’s on summer vacation. His madness and shenanigans help me #SwitchOnTheSunshine. And today, we derive strength from each other”.
