Recently, actress Sonali Bendre along with her friends, Sussanne Khan, and Gayatri Oberoi shot for Neha Dhupia's chat show, BFF's With Vogue. The actress, who returned to India after a year-long treatment in New York revealed how she reacted when she learned that she was diagnosed with cancer. During this entire battle with cancer, it was Sonali's husband, Goldie Behl, her pals, Sussanne and Gayatri, who stood rock-solid by her side.

In a promo released by Colors Infinity of the show, BFF's With Vogue, Sonali Bendre said that she cried all night and did not sleep when she was diagnosed with this life-threatening disease. "When we heard it, it was like, 'Oh, my God', we've been hit by a train. I hadn't slept at all and that was the night I acknowledged everything, accepted everything that this is it. This is going to be my last crying of how did I get this and why is this happening with me," said the actress.

Being grateful for having such friends like Sussanne and Gayatri, Sonali spoke highly about them. "These girls were just there with me. They have been my strength. From now on, it's going to be happiness and smiles. I saw the sun coming up, clicked a picture and shared it with my family and my girls, and said, 'Girls, Switch on the Sunshine'," said the Sarfarosh actress.
