Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre Behl who had earlier revealed the shocking news of being diagnosed with a high-grade cancer is currently in New York with her husband, Goldie Behl and son, Ranveer undergoing the treatment.

She had shared her new looks too earlier where she was seen shortening her long locks. Sonali took to her social media pages today and posted a photo posing with her son Ranveer sporting a shorter hair look. Along with the image, she had posted a heartfelt note of how she had revealed the news to her son and how he sometimes takes on being the parent!

"From the moment he was born 12 years, 11 months and 8 days ago, my amazing @rockbehl took ownership of my heart. From then on, his happiness and wellbeing have been the centre of anything @goldiebehl and I ever did. And so, when the Big C reared its ugly head, our biggest dilemma was what and how we were going to tell him.

As much as we wanted to protect him, we knew it was important to tell him the full facts. We’ve always been open and honest with him and this time it wasn’t going to be different. He took the news so maturely… and instantly became a source of strength and positivity for me. In some situations now, he even reverses roles and takes on being the parent, reminding me of things I need to do!

I believe that it’s imperative to keep kids involved in a situation like this. They are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for. It’s important to spend time with them and include them, rather than make them wait on the side-lines, not being told yet instinctively knowing everything. In our effort to protect them from the pain and realities of life, we might end up doing the opposite.

I’m spending time with Ranveer right now, while he’s on summer vacation. His madness and shenanigans help me #SwitchOnTheSunshine. And today, we derive strength from each other #OneDayAtATime"
