Here's What Sonali Bendre Has to Say On Her son Ranveer's 13th Birthday

Actress Sonali Bendre, who is currently undergoing treatment for high-grade cancer in New York, missed her son Ranveer on his 13th birthday. The doting mother took to social media to share a video clip with pictures of herself with her son Ranveer.

Sonali captioned the video with a heartwarming message saying, "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!"

Ever since Sonali broke the news of her battle with metastatic cancer, her fans have been left worried about her health. In an earlier Instagram post, Sonali shared how difficult it was to break the news about her cancer to their 12-year-old son Ranveer. The actress not only praised her son for showing maturity and but was surprised how he instantly became the source of strength for her. "As much as we wanted to protect him, we knew it was important to tell him the full facts. We've always been open and honest with him and this time it wasn't going to be different. He took the news so maturely... and instantly became a source of strength and positivity for me. In some situations now, he even reverses roles and takes on being the parent, reminding me of things I need to do," the 43-year-old actress revealed in her new post. She added, "I'm spending time with Ranveer right now, while he's on summer vacation. His madness and shenanigans help me #SwitchOnTheSunshine. And today, we derive strength from each other #OneDayAtATime."
