Darpan News Desk IANS, 23 Oct, 2018 01:06 AM

    Keeping her fans updated about her fight with cancer, Actor Sonali Bendre who is undergoing treatment for the same was seen sporting a new hair style.

     

    In her sixth "SwitchOnTheSunshine" post in Instagram, she thanked her hairstylist Bok-Hee for being with her all throughout in the battle against cancer.

     

    The 'Sarfarosh' actor posted three pictures; wherein one of them Bok-Hee is seen styling her newly grown hair.

     

    Speaking about her new friend, she said, "Sometimes, in the most unlikely of circumstances" one tends to meet strangers who "very quickly becomes a friend. One such person is @bokheehair, genius hairstylist and wigmaker."

     
     
     
     

    Thanking Bok-Hee for helping her indulge in new hairstyles, Bendre further said that, "She has been absolutely amazing; indulging me with various looks... short hair or long hair. She's been so understanding, supportive and empathetic throughout it all".

     

    "Thank you so so much Bokhee, I can't tell you how much our sessions together mean to me. You truly are an angel. #SwitchOnTheSunshine ??????" she added.

     

    It was in her first post in the series back on July 10, Sonali sported a short bob cut hair when the treatment for the dreaded disease had just begun.

     
     
     
     

    Here the 43-year-old star wrote, "In the words of my favourite author Isabel Allende, "We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome."

     

    It was on July 04 that the actress took to social media to open up about her disease.

     

    She is one of the few celebrities who were diagnosed with the dreaded disease, alongside Lisa Ray, Irrfan Khan, Manisha Koirala, Yuvraj Singh, and Mumtaz.

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

    “I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me.” – Cheryl Strayed, Wild. Over the past couple of months, I have had good days and bad ones. There have been days when I’ve been so exhausted and in so much pain that even lifting a finger hurt. I feel like sometimes it’s a cycle… one that starts off with physical pain and leads to mental and emotional pain. The bad days have been many… Post chemo, post-surgery and the like… where even just laughing hurts. Sometimes it felt like it took everything I’ve had to push past it… a minute to minute battle with myself. I got through it knowing that even though I was fighting a long drawn out, draining battle… it was one that was worth the fight. It’s important to remember that we’re allowed to have those bad days. Forcing yourself to be happy and cheerful all the time serves no purpose. Who are we being fake and putting on an act for? I allowed myself to cry, to feel the pain, to indulge in self-pity… for a short while. Only you know what you’re going through and it is fine to accept it. Emotions aren’t wrong. Feeling negative emotions isn’t wrong. But after a point, identify it, recognize it and refuse to let it control your life. It takes an immense amount of self-care to get out of that zone. Sleep always helps, or having my favourite smoothie after chemo, or just talking to my son. For now, as my treatment continues… my visual focus remains to just get better and get back home. It’s yet another test… Student all my life… Learning all my life… #OneDayAtATime 📷: @srishtibehlarya
