Sonali takes to Instagram
She shared a photo on Sunday with both her best friends where she was seen sporting a bald look.
She wrote, "Nowadays I spend far less time getting ready because I don't have to fuss over my hair! #BaldIsBeautiful #FindThePositive #OneDayAtATime."
The 43-year-old actress is getting treated for metastatic cancer in the Big Apple and appears to have begun with chemotherapy sessions, reported NDTV.
Bendre says in the post, "This is me. And in this moment, I am really happy. People give me strange looks when I say that now, but it's true and I'll tell you why. I am now paying attention to every moment, looking for every opportunity to find joy and #SwitchOnTheSunshine. Yes, there are moments of pain and low energy, but I am doing what I like, spending time with people I love, and feeling very loved and happy."
She also thanked both her friends for flying to New York just to be with her on Friendship Day.
"I am extremely grateful to my friends, my pillars of strength, who at a moment's notice, arrived to be with me and help me through this. In between their busy schedules they find time to visit, call, message, FaceTime... basically never leaving a moment for me to feel alone. Thank you for showing me what true friendship is. #HappyFriendshipDay, ladies. Blessed to have you all in my life (including the ones not in the picture... You know who you are)."
The photo, captured by Hrithik Roshan, has garnered thousands of likes and comments with fans wishing Sonali a speedy and healthy recovery.
