Dolly Sohi, who recently made a comeback on the daily soap, Parineetii, has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. The actress shared the news amid the treatment. Dolly penned a motivational note on Instagram.

Sharing the picture, she wrote, "THANK U EVERYONE FOR SENDING YOUR LOVE AND PRAYERS. Life has been a Roller Coaster lately, But if u have the strength to fight with it then ur journey becomes easier. It's up to u what do u choose to be A Victim Of Journey (CANCER) Or A Survivor Of Journey."

In an interview with ETimes, Dolly revealed, "I was having some symptoms 6-7 months ago but I wasn't aware of it and I ignored them. But when the pain turned unbearable, I visited my gynecologist and underwent a few tests. First I was told that I would have to get my uterus removed, however with further tests I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, there were symptoms and then after a few more tests the whole process began treatment."

In October, Dolly confirmed returning to Parineetii. Talking about her comeback, the actress said in a statement, "I previously completed my shoots for the upcoming show 'Jhanak', in Kolkata and Kashmir. And after I returned back to Mumbai, I was informed about my character making a comeback on 'Parineetii'. I could easily manage because we are yet to start shooting for 'Jhanak' here in Mumbai."

She added, "'Parineetii', is produced by Balaji Telefilms. The production is very close to my heart as I made my successful debut with them as Ranoo in 2000 with 'Kalash' and the relationship with Ekta Kapoor became stronger with every next show I acted for them. She's humble and kind. It's like getting back to my home for me."

Dolly will be seen playing the antagonist in the upcoming show, titled Jhanak. Helmed by Leena Gangopadhyay, the show revolves around Jhanak who defies all odds to make ends meet and fulfill her dream. When tragedy strikes her family, she has to rise from ashes like a phoenix. Jhanak is headlined by Hiba Nawab. It will premiere in November 2023.

Dolly is known for her shows like Bhabhi, Kumkum Bhagya and others.
