Of course, she is gorgeous, but this one time we want to call her, neither beautiful nor lovely, but strong and brave.

Well, we bring before you one of the strongest and bravest women of Bollywood, Sonali Bendre.

Only recently, Bendre shared a picture telling she has been diagnosed with cancer.

Many celebs sent her warm wishes and prayers via Twitter. Sonali took to Instagram to give us a glance at her first step in the fight against cancer. The bold and beautiful actress got a chic-like haircut to gear up for the fight.

In the words of my favourite author Isabel Allende, `We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome.` The outpouring of love I've received in the last few days has been so overwhelming... and I'm especially grateful to those of you who shared stories of your experiences in dealing with cancer, whether it was your own or of loved ones. Your stories have given me an extra dosage of strength and courage, and more importantly, the knowledge that I'm not alone. Each day comes with its own challenges and victories and so for now, I'm taking this #OneDayAtATime. The only thing I'm trying to be consistent about is maintaining a positive outlook... literally #SwitchOnTheSunshine - it's my way of dealing with this. Sharing my journey is also part of this process... I can only hope it reminds you that all is not lost and that someone, somewhere understands what you're going through. 🤞🌞 Thank you @tomoarakawa for making this a chic transition from long to short!
