Actress Sonali Bendre who is undergoing treatment for metastatic cancer in New York, posted an emotional note for her son Ranveer on his 13th birthday. As it is the first time she is away from him on his birthday, she wrote that she 'terribly misses' him.
Sonali wrote, "Ranveeeeer! My sun, my moon, my stars, my sky... Okay, maybe I'm being a bit melodramatic, but your 13th birthday deserves this. Wow, you're a teenager now... Will need some time to wrap my head around that fact. I can't tell you enough how proud I am of you... Your wit, your humour, your strength, your kindness, and even your mischief. Happy happy birthday, my not-so-little one. It's the first one that we're not together... I miss you terribly. Lots and lots of love always and forever.... biiiiig hug!"
She posted a video compilation of photos with her son, through different stages of life. Earlier, she had shared a post about talking to her son about cancer and how he strongly stood by her. "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 sidelines, 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," she wrote.
