According to a report by NDTV, Goldie Behl told ANI that Sonali’s treatment is complete for now but she will have regular check-ups. He said, “Sonali is doing good. She is back for good. She is recovering very well. For now, treatment has ended. But the disease can come back so regular check-ups will be done.”
Earlier in July, the actress took to Twitter and Instagram to announce that she had been diagnosed with a high-grade cancer that has metastasized, and was undergoing treatment in New York. The 43-year-old actress had said she did not see this coming, and that life throws surprises at you when you least expect it. She further said that a nagging pain led her to run a few tests and an unexpected diagnosis thereafter.
