Sonali Bendre is an actress, a reality Tv judge, a mom and also an immense source of inspiration to many in the past few months. It was back in July that she was diagnosed with Cancer which had already metastasized. The actress broke the news to her fans and well-wishers on social media, informing them about her health. She wrote that it was ‘a niggling pain is what led her to take some tests, which in turn led to this diagnosis’. However, this grave realisation or the difficult treatment that followed didn’t dull Sonali’s spirit and she has been taking every single day like a true champ.

Sonali recently returned to India after completing her initial treatment in New York and nothing’s breaking her stride. She has already started working again and is happy doing so. However, her latest post will remind you how important it is to take a break, which most of us forget to do given our busy lives.

Take a look:

Her caption read, “I’m gonna soak up the sun. I’m gonna tell everyone. To lighten up. I’ve got no one to blame. For every time I feel lame. I’m looking up. I’m gonna soak up the sun.
~ Sheryl Crow”

I love her optimistic spirit, what about you?
