Bollywood filmmaker Goldie Behl tweeted on Thursday (2 August) thanking all fans and well-wishers for their love and support for his actress wife Sonali Bendre.
Sonali was diagnosed with metastatic cancer and is currently undergoing treatment for the same in New York.
This is a high-grade cancer which is not quite easy to recover from. It is the final stage of cancer.
In metastatic cancer, it is difficult to discover the point of origin of cancer. All these factors make metastatic cancer treatment difficult.
"Thank you all for the love and support for Sonali... She is stable and is following her treatment without any complications. This is a long journey but we have begun positively," Behl tweeted.
In a statement released earlier, the actress said, "A niggling pain led to some tests, which led to this unexpected diagnosis. My family and close friends have rallied around me, providing the best support system that anyone can ask for. I am very blessed and thankful for each of them... We remain optimistic and I am determined to fight every step of the way."
Sonali has also been sharing every bit of her struggle with her fans back in India. She has provided updates right from the day she revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer to getting a hair cut to what it was like when she shared the news with her son Ranveer.
She even mentioned how she and her son are a source of strength for each other.
Sonali's fans, well-wishers and all the people from Bollywood stand in support of the actress and are praying for her quick recovery.
