The proof is Ranveer Behl's latest Instagram post in which he is seen strolling in the central park of New York with bestie Vihaan Oberoi who's the son of 'Swades' actress Gayatri Joshi Oberoi.

Sonali is getting treated in New York for ‘high grade’ cancer that has metastised and we saw her pictures she shared a while ago as she was getting her long hair chopped. Sonali shared another picture posing with her son and wrote a long note along with it explaining how she finds strength in her boy and how he's strongly dealing with her illness ever since she disclosed her cancer diagnosis to him. [Swipe left in Instagram post below!]

In the words of my favourite author Isabel Allende, “We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome.” The outpouring of love I’ve received in the last few days has been so overwhelming… and I’m especially grateful to those of you who shared stories of your experiences in dealing with cancer, whether it was your own or of loved ones. Your stories have given me an extra dosage of strength and courage, and more importantly, the knowledge that I’m not alone. Each day comes with its own challenges and victories and so for now, I’m taking this #OneDayAtATime. The only thing I’m trying to be consistent about is maintaining a positive outlook... literally #SwitchOnTheSunshine - it’s my way of dealing with this. Sharing my journey is also part of this process... I can only hope it reminds you that all is not lost and that someone, somewhere understands what you’re going through. ???????? Thank you @tomoarakawa for making this a chic transition from long to short!

From the moment he was born 12 years, 11 months and 8 days ago, my amazing @rockbehl took ownership of my heart. From then on, his happiness and wellbeing have been the centre of anything @goldiebehl and I ever did. And so, when the Big C reared its ugly head, our biggest dilemma was what and how we were going to tell him. As much as we wanted to protect him, we knew it was important to tell him the full facts. We’ve always been open and honest with him and this time it wasn’t going to be different. He took the news so maturely… and instantly became a source of strength and positivity for me. In some situations now, he even reverses roles and takes on being the parent, reminding me of things I need to do! I believe that it’s imperative to keep kids involved in a situation like this. They are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for. It’s important to spend time with them and include them, rather than make them wait on the side-lines, not being told yet instinctively knowing everything. In our effort to protect them from the pain and realities of life, we might end up doing the opposite. I’m spending time with Ranveer right now, while he’s on summer vacation. His madness and shenanigans help me #SwitchOnTheSunshine. And today, we derive strength from each other #OneDayAtATime

Before she found out about her illness, Sonali was seen as the judge on Zee TV's reality show 'India's Best Dramebaaz' and her co-judge Vivek Oberoi opened up a while ago on her caner saying "she was in pain"[Sonali’s ‘India’s Best Dramebaaz’ co-judge Vivek Oberoi on her cancer; says she was in PAIN!]. When asked about Sonali's health update, her sister-in-law Srishti Behl Arya recently told SpotBoye- "She is staying strong". And now by spotting Vihaan Oberoi with Sonali's son Ranveer Behl, we believe that Gayatri's family is also supporting Behl's in the US. Gayatri also has a younger son named Yuvaan. She has been married to Vikas Oberoi since 2005.

Seeing him happy ahead of his Birthday makes us feel good about the boy and we see how this must be strengthening his parents too. Hope Sonali defeats cancer soon and we wish Ranveer a Happy Birthday in advance! Keep vising this space for all updates and you may leave you comment/feedback in the section below!
