What Sonali Bendre told her son on his birthday

'Ranveeeeer! My sun, my moon, my stars, my sky... Okay, maybe I'm being a bit melodramatic, but your 13th birthday deserves this.'

Sonali Bendre's son Ranveer Behl turned 13 on August 10.

The actress who is battling cancer posted a video with 13 pictures of her son along with an emotional message

She writes 'Ranveeeeer! My sun, my moon, my stars, my sky... Okay, maybe I'm being a bit melodramatic, but your 13th birthday deserves this.'

'Wow, you're a teenager now... Will need some time to wrap my head around that fact.'

'I can't tell you enough how proud I am of you... Your wit, your humour, your strength, your kindness, and even your mischief.'

'Happy happy birthday, my not-so-little one. It's the first one that we're not together... I miss you terribly. Lots and lots of love always and forever.... biiiiig hug!'

Here are the grabs from the video.
