She also added how Pooja Gor told her jokes and kept her mood light during the difficult sessions:
“I had to hold my breath while the radiation was being given & when I would get breathless and breathe, the machine would stop. So just to make the whole process fun & build on my breath holding time, I would always count in my mind… Mississippi 1, Mississippi 2…. In this picture @poojagor accompanied me for my radiation session and she told me a joke that changed my counting for the rest of the sessions. ‘How does a hippi count his wives?? Mrs hippi 1, Mrs hippi 2…’ Well, these little things made my radiation smooth and I can’t thank the universe enough for how blessed I am! Soon this will all be behind me!”
Isn’t that the sweetest story of sisterhood?

Female friendships get a bad reputation in the media, but many women know that it is their girlfriends who always stand by them in times of need. Take, for example, Sonali Bendre’s friends Sussanne Khan and Gayatri Oberoi. They flew to the US to visit her when she was getting treated for cancer, constantly posting positive and encouraging Instagrams for her to support her.
