Former Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati has published a book on her mother's dementia, saying she used it as a way for the family to cope.
Known for her portrayal of Sunita Alahan on Coronation Street, the actress joined the Loose Women panel to discuss her new book. Documenting her mother's battle with dementia, Shobna wanted to portray a realistic version of the illness from multiple angles.
She said she's been struggling with her mother's illness and the book was a way to help the family cope with it. The family apparently knew nothing at all about the creation of the book until it was published and the topic of dementia, in general, was very rarely discussed.
