It has been a tough year for Sonali Bendre. Early this year, the actress revealed that she has been detected with cancer and she’s going to be fighting it like a warrior.

And this time is no different.

Sonali took to Instagram to share pictures of the last time that she blow-dried her hair, before she cut those tresses short, and reflected upon the year that went by. She wrote: “Throwback to my last blow-dry before I cut my hair. Now that my hair is gradually growing back.... Maybe I can look forward to another blow-dry in 2019!
