Sonali Bendre is a big name in the world of Bollywood. She started her career as a model, before being selected by the “Star Dust Talent Search”. Later, she was invited to Mumbai and trained by a variety of top actors and performers of the Indian film industry. She is one of the very few actors to have acted opposite all the four Khans (Aamir, Shahrukh, Salman and Saif). She has also starred opposite some of the other biggest names in Bollywood such as Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Ajay Devgan, Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor.
Recently, Bendre is suffering from a severe, metastatic cancer and we are praying for her recovery.
