There is a video of them meeting when Vakifbank and other top teams from Europe went to Tianjin to play in the finals of the World Club championships, which was held there. At the time, Vargas was sidelined from her recent shoulder surgery. Zehra Gunes walked up to Vargas who was sitting at a bench looking at her phone, when Vargas realised that her friend was there, she got up and gave her a long hug. Later on, the two were showed at a dinner together in Tianjin.
They are best friends on the Turkish team. They are room mates on the road, and often hang out together socially. Vargas is loved by everyone, as she has a big and easy heart, and is a very humble person. Hande Baladin, Derya Cebecioglu, Ebrar Karakurt, Gizem Orge appear particularly close to her, but so are her team mates from Fenerbahce, Asli Kalac and Meliha Diken..
