Sonali Bendre is coming back to India but her fight with cancer is not yet over

Actress Sonali Bendre, who has been battling her metastatic cancer in New York, is coming to back to India to spend some time with her family and friends.

The 43-year-old has always remained positive in her outlook as she battles the serious ailment shared the excitement of her homecoming on Instagram.

"They say "Distance makes the heart grow fonder". It sure does. But let's never underestimate what distance teaches you. Being away from home in the city of New York, I realized I was walking amongst so many stories. Each trying to write their own chapter in different ways. Each struggling to do it but never giving up. Each taking it #OneDayAtATime.

And now I'm on my way back to where my heart is. It's a feeling I can't describe in words but I'm going to try - it's the joy to see my family and friends again, the excitement to do what I love and mainly the gratitude for the journey I've had up until this moment.

The fight is not yet over...but I'm happy and looking forward to this happy interval :) It's time to learn that there is a new normal out there and I can't wait to embrace it and #SwitchOnTheSunshine.

#NowPlaying #AdventureOfALifeTime

And as my adventure with life continues these words by Chris Martin hit home, "Everything you want is a dream away. Under this pressure, under this weight, We are diamonds taking shape..."
