One of the most popular actresses of Indian cinema, Bendre is the recipient of numerous accolades, including a Filmfare Award.
Bendre as a teenager did a few modelling assignments and appeared in several television commercials. At the age of nineteen, made her acting debut with a leading role in the 1994 film Aag.

Post a brief appearance in Kal Ho Naa Ho , Bendre took a leave from full-time acting in 2003, and made her comeback with the 2013 gangster thriller Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara.
In a recent sad turn of events she was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. Bendre still rules millions of hearts on both sides of the border and the news was heart wrenching for her fans and everyone else alike. But in the recent pictures that have surfaced on the internet she looks well and happy and that makes us happy too.
We know this smile hides many tears and we truly hope that she recovers soon. We wish her a speedy recovery and a healthy life. Love and happiness your way Mam.
