Sonali Bendre gets a new look, thanks Priyanka Chopra

'It's important to do what makes you happy, even if it's something as simple as wearing a wig, bright red lipstick, high heels...'

Sonali Bendre shares another update from her life, and this is a very pretty one.

The actress, who is undergoing treatment for cancer in New York, shows off her new look with a video and picture on Instagram.

Sonali credits her new look to hairstylist Bok Hee, who was introduced to her by Priyanka Chopra.

After quoting Al Pacino's 'Vanity is my favourite sin,' Sonali shares her feelings.

'Well, it might not be my all-time favourite sin (that would be gluttony), but who doesn't like looking good?' Sonali writes.

'The way we look has a profound psychological impact on us... A little vanity here and there does no one any harm.

'It's important to do what makes you happy, even if it's something as simple as wearing a wig, bright red lipstick, high heels.... All that white noise doesn't make a difference in the larger picture.

'No one can tell you what's right or wrong for you.

'When I was testing out the wigs, I had a brief moment of self-doubt... "Am I vain for wanting to look good?"

'As part of the entertainment industry, you're always expected to look good... Maybe that has been ingrained in me?

'But then I gave it a thought and I realised I like looking good for me.

'If I'm in the mood to wear a scarf, I will.

'If I want to walk around bald and free, I will.

'Only you know what would make you feel good, and what works best for you. 

'So take every opportunity you can to #SwitchOnTheSunshine. #OneDayAtATime.'
