EXCLUSIVE: Sonali Bendre remembers getting media attention while battling cancer; says: ‘there was a lot of empathy’
As in her last project called The Broken News, Bendre tried on the character of a news anchor; she was asked to give her opinion on how the media focuses on the sensational part of a celebrity’s health condition. Referring to her battle with cancer, the actress said: “I feel what matters to me, I found a lot of empathy from everyone, and that includes the media. I just got a lot of love.”
Elaborating further, the Sarfarosh actress went on to say, “I’ve had a career that spans so many years. So there have definitely been times when [the] media has been mad at me.” She then shared, “I think my illness was the time when most of the media really got behind me.”
Sonali explained her understanding behind it, Sonali said, “that could be because social media was so much available and somehow my vote went straight to the people or it went straight, adding ‘it wasn’t colored by the vision of someone else of it and maybe that helped, but at that time.”
Speaking of The Broken News, it’s an eight-episode original ZEE5 series. Along with Sonali, Jaideep Ahlawat and Shriya Pilgaonkar can also be seen in pivotal roles.
