Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre, who is currently undergoing treatment for high-grade cancer in New York, has sent out a heartfelt message for India's Best Dramebaaz finale. Sonali was a part of the judges panel of the show with Vivek Oberoi and Omung Kumar, but Huma Qureshi stepped into her shoes when she left following her cancer diagnosis. However, she keeps tuned into the show.
"Hi everyone. I am so happy to see all the kids doing so well on the show. I am missing the entire team of 'India's Best Dramebaaz' so much. I wish I could just be there with all of you. Vivek keeps sending me the messages of the kids all the time and they're all so sweet, it makes me cry," a statement quoted Sonali as saying in a video message.
Hosted by Shantanu Maheshwari and Vighnesh Pande, the Zee TV show is a talent-search which has children between the ages of 5-12 years as the participants.
Sonali further said: "I want to thank Huma from the bottom of my heart for stepping in at the last minute. It means a lot. For Shantanu, I just want to say that I was so excited to work with you after so many years, but it had to end this way. I miss everyone a lot.
"But I promise I will come back soon. I just want to tell something to all the finalists, some will lose and one will win, but everyone is wonderful and all of you have learned a lot in this entire journey which will help everyone a lot in the future."
The finale will air on Sunday.
Recently, on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, Sonali Bendre actress took to her social media to post pictures of her husband Goldie Behl and son Ranveer Behl offering prayers to Lord Ganesha. She tweeted, "#GaneshChaturthi has always been very very close to my heart. Missing the celebrations back home, but still feeling blessed. Have a happy one, filled with blessings, love and joy!"
