The news of Sonali Bendre suffering from metastic cancer had taken the industry by storm but it’s amazing how the actress is handling it one day at a time!
Recently, after she had gone to New York, she posted pictures after getting a haircut, where her tresses were chopped off to shoulder-length hair.
She took to Instagram and shared a video collage of her pictures with an accompanying post about wanting to look good despite the toll battling cancer has taken on her. She captioned the post with an uplifting caption and said, ” “Vanity is my favourite sin.” – Al Pacino
Well, it might not be my all-time favourite sin (that would be gluttony ?), but who doesn’t like looking good? The way we look has a profound psychological impact on us… A little vanity here and there does no one any harm. It’s important to do what makes you happy, even if it’s something as simple as wearing a wig, bright red lipstick, high heels…. All that white noise doesn’t make a difference in the larger picture. No one can tell you what’s right or wrong for you. When I was testing out the wigs, I had a brief moment of self-doubt… “Am I vain for wanting to look good?” As part of the entertainment industry, you’re always expected to look good… Maybe that has been ingrained in me? But then I gave it a thought and I realized I like looking good for me. If I’m in the mood to wear a scarf, I will. If I want to walk around bald and free, I will. Only you know what would make you feel good, and what works best for you.
So take every opportunity you can to #SwitchOnTheSunshine. #OneDayAtATime ??.”
In the end, she thanked Priyanka Chopra. “Thank you @priyankachopra for connecting me with the amazing @bokheehair, who created my new look,” she wrote.
A lot of people from Bollywood commented on the post. Hrithik Roshan wrote, “Beautiful Sonali” with a heart emoji and Parineeti Chopra wrote, “You look Gorgeoussssssss.”
