She shared she shifted her focus from the illness to the people who supported her. "There are journeys in life that change you forever. This has been one of them," she said.

Finding grace and faith

Medha underwent multiple medical procedures during her illness. Her treatment has included surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. One phase of this medical care is now coming to an end as her birthday approaches.

She expressed that God appeared in her life through her Gurus, doctors and nurses. This support network extended to family members, friends and strangers who became blessings. Medha said, "Every time I felt I couldn’t take another step, someone appeared to walk beside me."

She also credited her spiritual guides for helping her navigate the difficult period. "My Gurus taught me that surrender is not defeat—it is the highest form of faith," added the Natsamrat actor.

Family support

Medha thanked her daughters, Saiee Manjrekar and Gauri Ingawale, for staying by her side during the cancer treatment. She also thanked her husband for being her support. "Some journeys are never meant to be walked alone...." she wrote.

Her sister, co-sister and close friends also gave her physical and emotional support during her hardest days.

They fed her with dhoklas, soft idlis, gulpapdi and pani puri when she craved them. Medha concluded her post, "One friend suggested I drink my cranberry juice from a champagne glass. A tiny change in presentation...A big change in perspective."
