Sonali Bendre's Son Ranveer Recommends A Book For His Mother's Next Book Club Session

IANS, 24 Dec, 2018 04:57 AM

    Actress Sonali Bendre says she is excited about her first collaboration on the book club with son Ranveer.

     

    "As we come close to the end of another year, it's amazing to see how much this book club has grown and how I can see tangible effects. After my son hosted his first SBC Live, he's become more enthusiastic about reading, so much so that he has now recommended a book for us," Sonali posted on Instagram on Sunday along with a photograph of her and her son.

     

    "So the next book for SBC is 'Half Brother'. I'm really excited as it's the first mom-son collaboration on the book club, and I'm looking forward to exploring this book with you all! The family that reads together, Sonali's Book Club."

     

    Earlier this year, Sonali, who was undergoing a metastatic cancer treatment in New York, had shared that the 12-year-old even took on "being the parent" sometimes.

     

    "In some situations now, he even reverses roles and takes on being the parent, reminding me of things I need to do," Sonali had written on social media.

     
     
     
     
     
     

    Sonali Bendre is known to have organised several interactive sessions between coming-of-age authors and readers through the club. Her book club was even active when the actress was undergoing treatment for cancer in New York this year. Sonali's best friends Sussanne Khan, Dia Mirza and Gayatri Joshi took over SBC in Sonali's absence.

     
     
     
     
     
     

    Sonali Bendre, who was undergoing treatment for cancer in New York, returned to Mumbai earlier this month. She revealed that she has been diagnosed with "high grade cancer" in July this year. The 43-year-old actress shared an extensive note on her Instagram profile, in which she wrote that she did not see this coming. "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," read an excerpt from the post.
