Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre shocked the nation on July 4 when she revealed that she was suffering from cancer on social media. Ever since her shocking revelation, B-town has been sending their love and praying for her a speedy recovery. The latest to wish the 'Sarfarosh' actress is veteran actor Anupam Kher.

Calling Sonali his 'hero', Kher tweeted, "I have done few films with @iamsonalibendre. We've met socially many times in Mumbai. She always has been bright & a very warm person. But it is only in the last 15days that I got the opportunity to spend some quality time with her in NY. And I can easily say, "She is my HERO."

The two have worked together in films like 'Dhai Akshar Prem Ke', 'Keemat', 'Dil Hi Dil Mein' and also a Tamil film 'Kadhalar Hinam'.

Sonali, who broke the news in July this year, has been sharing the story under #SwitchOnTheSunshine.

The 43-year-old, who is undergoing treatment for high-grade cancer in New York, recently took to social media to wish a very happy 13th birthday to son Ranveer Behl. In the caption, she wrote that she misses him terribly as it is the first time that the actor is away from her son on his birthday.

Some really adorable pictures of the mother-son duo are featured in the short clip. From Ranveer's childhood to teenage, mom Sonali managed to put together an array of photos to wish her 'not-so-little-one.'

"Ranveeeeer! My sun, my moon, my stars, my sky... Okay, maybe I'm being a bit melodramatic, but your 13th birthday deserves this. Wow, you're a teenager now... Will need some time to wrap my head around that fact," Sonali wrote.

Meanwhile, Anupam Kher will be next seen in 'The Accidental Prime Minister', he will be seen playing the role of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the film.
