On the occasion of friendsip day on Sunday, actress Sonali Bendre dedicated her Instagram post for her friends, who have been through her thick and thin, and are still around her. Actress Sonali Bendre, who is battling high grade cancer, has shoved her head for treatment, and in the post said she is happy and staying positive by looking for joy in every moment.
The 43-year-old actor stated through the post that she feels "pain and low energy" but spending time with loved ones keeps her motivated. "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 Switch On The Sunshine.
"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," Bendre posted on Instagram along side a picture of herself with good friends Sussanne Khan and Gayatri Oberoi, clicked by actor Hrithik Roshan.
Sussanne and Gayatri visited the actor in the US and spent some quality time with her ahead of Friendship Day. Bendre thanked her friends for being her constant source of strength.

Happy Friendship Day, ladies. Blessed to have you all in my life (including the ones not in the picture... You know who you are)," she added.
