When Bollywood actress, Sonali Bendre was diagnosed with cancer, millions of her fans had gone into a sort of depression overnight. Such was her fanbase and everyone was so tensed about the news that they weren't able to extract some hope from that situation. But even at that time, it was Sonali Bendre, who didn’t let her heart sink into the river of defeat and made herself ready for the biggest battle of her life. The actress had diagnosed with metastatic cancer and had spent the larger part of the year, 2018, in New York undergoing treatment. But with the support of her family and fans, she had come back to India with a big smile on her face and a story that is still inspiring millions of cancer fighters out there.

However, not a lot of people know this but Sonali’s husband, Goldie Behl is the one, who had stood by her side in every single second of that disastrous phase. We had already heard Sonali praising her hubby for his constant effort but this time it is the man himself, who has talked about that terrible time in his recent interview.
In an interview with the PTI, the filmmaker and producer, Goldie Behl opened-up about his decision of putting all of his big-screen ventures on hold and how terrible that time was for him and his family. He said, “The film slate has not been affected by COVID-19, I have put it on hold for the moment. I am focusing more on my energies, ever since 2018 after I went to New York with Sonali, it was a life-altering situation for all of us.” Goldie also added that right now he’s focusing more on the digital platforms because of their massive growing popularity. He added, “I have decided to focus more on the digital platform. So the film slate is on pause right now, but because of my own decision and not COVID-19.” (Don’t Miss: Suhana Khan Turns Muse For Gauri Khan, BFF Ananya Panday's Banter With Her Is Every Girlfriend Ever)

The actress along with her hubby, Goldie Behl had decided to go to New York for her treatment.

Since then, we had heard Sonali heaping praise on her family, friends, but most importantly on her husband, Goldie, who was her ultimate source of positivity and courage.
In an event last year in May, Sonali had opened up about her cancer battle and how her husband, Goldie Behl had become a pillar of strength for her till the end. She had explained, "Goldie has been my rock and pillar of strength to help me fight cancer. Thank God, I decided to get married to him. My mother always told me that human being matters more. Of course, there are times when you realise material things are also important, which gets you the treatment in the US, but even that cannot give you the joy the family gives and sees you through it.
