Sonali Bendre — who has been in the US for her treatment is likely to return to India this December. The actress was diagnosed with high-grade cancer, since then she has been undergoing treatment for her medical condition in New York.
Namrata Shriodkar — a close friend of Sonali Bendre — who has recently paid a visit to her in the US and spent some quality time with her. Namrata Shirodkar said that the rendezvous was memorable.
“She is a strong girl. She looks amazingly fit and ready to resume normal life. I had such a lovely time. We discussed so many things. She told me the entire story of her illness and what gives her the strength to deal with it strongly. I told her she’s always in my prayers,” Shirodkar was quoted as saying by Bollywood Hungama.
Namrata shares a deep bonding with Sonali. “Just like, she’s so typically Maharashtrian in so many ways. We chatted about everything under the sun. We laughed over some shared recollections in the past.”
Namrata and Sonali are the two Maharashtrian actresses who gave up their careers for the sake of their marriages and motherhood.
Namrata hopes to meet Sonali again sooner than later. “In fact, my son Gautam and I were to meet Sonali and her son Ranveer and husband Goldie Behl. Goldie and Ranveer are flying down to New York. Unfortunately, my family and I are out of New York for two days. But, Sonali and I have promised one another a walk in Central Park. We will do that soon.”
Namrata also said that she wanted to click a photo of her with Sonali Bendre, but she thought it would not be proper.
