Sonali wrote along with the video, “Warning: This isn’t as easy as it looks. My new aqua therapy training sessions are tough but definitely easier than doing this in normal conditions. #MyNewNormal involves looking for solutions and not creating excuses... finding what works for me. #KDAH P.S. Thank God I didn’t drop my phone!”

Sonali also appeared on Neha Dhupia’s chat show BFFs last month with friends Sussanne Khan and Gayatri Oberoi. She broke down on the show while talking about her struggle. The actor revealed how she felt like being hit by a train on hearing the news and said, “I hadn’t slept at all and that was the night when I acknowledged everything, accepted everything. This is it and this is going to be my last crying of how did I get this, why is this happening to me.”

She added, “From this moment on, its going to be a happiness, its going to be a smile. And when I saw the sun coming up, I clicked that and sent it to my family and I said, ‘Girls, switch on the sunshine’.”
