Actress Sonali Bendre Behl was recently diagnosed with a "high-grade cancer" and is currently undergoing treatment in New York. But in her troubled times as she battles the disease, she's been joined by her best friends Sussanne Khan and Gayatri Joshi on the occasion of Friendship Day today on August 5.

The actress, who has been updating her fans and well-wishers with social media posts, took to Instagram to share a beautiful photo. In the picture, she is seen sporting a bald look and poses happily with her friends. Take a look:

Sonali appears to have begun with chemotherapy sessions and looks beautiful as ever in the latest picture. She has once again proved that the woman is a braveheart.

"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," read an excerpt from her Instagram post.

While Sussane and Gayatri are setting friendship goals by being with Sonali, it is none other than Hrithik Roshan who clicked the picture.

It was last month that Sonali posted about "challenges" and "victories" revealed that she sported shorter hair.
