She mentioned that it is her son, Ranveer, who “switches on the sunshine” in her while she is battling cancer.

In her Instagram post, she wrote, “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!”

She said that it's important for parents to keep their children involved. "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... In our effort to protect them from the pain and realities of life, we might end up doing the opposite."

She added how she derives her strength from her son. Ranveer is currently on summer vacation and is spending most of the time with her. She wrote, “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.”
