ক্যানসারে আক্রান্ত হওয়ার পর সোনালি বেন্দ্রের প্রথম ফটোশ্যুট, নির্দ্বিধায় দেখালেন অপারেশনের ২০ ইঞ্চি ক্ষত

মুম্বই: গত বছর জুলাইতে ক্যানসার ধরা পড়ে তাঁর। রোগের সঙ্গে দীর্ঘ লড়াই চালাতে চালাতেই তিনি করে ফেললেন এক পত্রিকার জন্য ফটোশ্যুট।

বেশ কয়েক মাস নিউ ইয়র্কে থেকে চিকিৎসা করান সোনালি। ডিসেম্বরে ফিরে এসেছেন ভারতে। একটি সামনে খোলা ধাতব গাউন পরে ছবি তুলেছেন তিনি, তাতে স্পষ্ট দেখা যাচ্ছে তাঁর পেটে সার্জারির দীর্ঘ ক্ষত।

The idea was almost preposterous. An almost bald head, barely any make-up and a huge scar was not the norm for @vogue. But, I guess that's my new normal. Of course I had my reservations, and, if I dare say, insecurities - but a candid conversation with the lovely ladies @priya_tanna and @anaitashroffadajania cleared my doubts. And before I knew it, I was standing in front of the camera, ready to uncover my new reality. The icing on the cake was the fact that I needed one-third of the time for hair and make-up????. So I closed my eyes and jumped into it, full throttle, and this is the result. Thank you, @meghamahindru for telling my story; and thank you @ridburman for understanding my story and saying it so beautifully through your lens. If there's a piece of advice I can give you all after this, it would be to 'Find your new normal'. It's very liberating.

“I’m okay with it now… I don’t even miss it,” says Sonali Bendre Behl (@iamsonalibendre) as she runs her hand neck upwards. “Yet it [my hair] was the be-all, end-all of my life. It was this stupid thing that I was hanging on to,” she shares. “My instinct was to wear a cap, a scarf or a wig—but these things are so ugly. I knew that if I had to accept it [going bald], I had to put a picture out there. Because once you share it on social media, you can feel the release.” Head to the link in our bio to read how she emerged stronger with a little help from family, friends and fans.

গত বছর সোনালি তাঁর ক্যানসারে আক্রান্ত হওয়ার কথা জানান, বলেন, শরীরে ছড়িয়ে পড়েছে ক্যানসার। ৬ মাস আমেরিকায় থেকে চিকিৎসা করান তিনি। তখন থেকে নিয়মিত নিজের শারীরিক অবস্থার কথা সোশ্যাল মিডিয়ায় পোস্ট করে জানাচ্ছেন।

This is me. And in this moment, I am really happy. People give me strange looks when I say that now, but it's true and I'll tell you why. I am now paying attention to every moment, looking for every opportunity to find joy and #SwitchOnTheSunshine. Yes, there are moments of pain and low energy, but I am doing what I like, spending time with people I love, and feeling very loved and happy. I am extremely grateful to my friends, my pillars of strength, who at a moment's notice, arrived to be with me and help me through this. In between their busy schedules they find time to visit, call, message, FaceTime... basically never leaving a moment for me to feel alone. Thank you for showing me what true friendship is. #HappyFriendshipDay, ladies. Blessed to have you all in my life (including the ones not in the picture... You know who you are) @gayatrioberoi @suzkr P.S. Nowadays I spend far less time getting ready because I don't have to fuss over my hair! ????#BaldIsBeautiful #FindThePositive #OneDayAtATime Picture credit: @hrithikroshan
