‘Unconventional, all heart’ NYC Diwali for Sonali Bendre; actress posts pic with family

Sonali Bendre, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment in New York, has had a quiet and 'unconventional' Diwali this year. Posting a picture of Diwali celebrations with husband Goldie Behl and son Ranveer, the actress wrote that festive greetings were delayed, thanks to the time difference between New York and Mumbai.

In a break from past tradition, this year's celebration for the actress was low-key. Sharing a few images in which she is seen lighting candles and offering prayers with her family, the 43-year-old wrote that, "It was quite an unconventional one... We didn't have Indian clothes, we had a small puja... But it was all heart."

Diwali in New York happens much later than in Mumbai... Hence the late wish! It was quite an unconventional one... We didn't have Indian clothes, we had a small puja... But it was all heart. Happy Diwali everyone! May this year bring you good health, wealth and prosperity... Hope you celebrated this festival with your family and friends, and hope you cherish every moment of happiness with them!

It's always lovely to be part of someone's special moment and more so when it's a dear friend. What a fabulous evening @priyankachopra!!! Your bridal shower was filled with so much love and laughter. I wish all that and more for you as you take this next big step. Big hug and much love. P.S. it felt so great and also somewhat strange to wear a bright colour again! #RedIsTheColourOfRebirth
