Ranbir Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor’s married Sister Ridhima is looking forward to spending an amazing time with family and especially her Rockstar brother, this Rakhi.
Saif Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan
With the news of Kareena and Saif’s marriage being rescheduled, Soha Ali Khan promises to be the strongest support to her brother Saif Ali Khan in these times of emotional needs.
Shushmita Sen and Rajeev Sen
Shushmita Sen and her brother Rajeev Sen share an almost similar relationship to that of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Aditya Rai. They are in different professional fields but that never hampers the siblinghood between the two. This Rakhi they hope to spend the entire day with family and a few cousins.
Katrina Kaif and Arjun Kapoor
But before going into that fully fledged discussion, let us talk about Katrina Kaif and Arjun Kapoor’s strange siblinghood! I am sure most of you know that they are Rakhi-siblings but did you know that Arjun Kapoor absolutely denies being Katrina’s brother as he had been tied Rakhi only once by Kat Kaif that too around 5 years back when Salman Khan, Kat Kaif’s then beau, met Arjun and his father Bonny Kapoor at a party. Of course Arjun, we understand. After all, what Indian man would want to be a “brother” to Katrina Kaif?
Manoj Bajpayee
The Gangs of Wasseypur star Manoj Bajpayee talks about his Rakhi experiences. He has 3 sisters, Garima, Kamini and Poonam. He regrets not being able to spend quality time with them and visit them for Rakhi every year, but he also adds that his sisters always make it a point to send him the Rakhis by post. True, these are relationships cherished.
Rahul Bose
Another cute relationship is shared between Rahul Bose and Anuradha, his elder sister. Rahul says that the 4 years age gap has never stopped them from being soul mates. He feels his decision to move in with Anuradha and his niece has made his life more complete as a human being. There is always exchanging of gifts and happy quarrels. But nonetheless, Rakhi remains special. Rahul’s father had been living in Kasauli and has moved in recently with Rahul and Anuradha. The home is a place the actor enjoys returning to after a hard day’s toil.
Iqbal Khan
Silver screen star Iqbal Khan is rather sad while talking about his Rakhi celebrations. Both his sisters live in Australia and though he crazily misses them, it has become a practice to deal with family occasions over telephone calls and emails. He jokes a bit while adding that he hopes someday he has Rakhi sisters in Mumbai but he wonders why girls don’t want to tie him a Rakhi!
Nakul Vaid
Nakul Vaid says he loves his sister Chandni the most and that she always looks after him even though it was about time he took his own responsibilities. He spins the emotional wheel when saying that the best gift he can give to his sister would be a genuine promise to provide her with all the protection she will ever need.
Rohit Roy
Rohit Roy says he always has a busy Rakhi as his number of Rakhi sisters is almost endless. This list includes his brother-in-law, Sharman Joshi’s wife, Prerna.
Ravi Kishan
Ravi Kishan generally spends Rakhi with his two sisters, Sunita and Rekha and his parents at the family’s Bandra residence.
Aryan Vaid
Aryan Vaid plans to buy his sisters, Poonam and Meena some mutual funds and regrets not having Sheetal, the other sister who is in the US, at home.
Aftab Shivdasani
Aftab Shivdasani loves his sister Afsana, his only sibling, and says he wishes to see a smile on her face all the time and will try and spend every Rakhi with her.
Sammir Dattani
Sammir Dattani wishes the same for his sister Sweta and all his cousins and Rakhi sisters too. He feels sometimes he does not spend enough time with them due to shooting commitments but he makes sure that once he is free , he gives his family all the much need attention.
At the end of the day, Rakhi is not about glamour and glitter. This occasion is about that special person who promises to be by your side even if the whole world opposes you. This is the time to make your brother or your sister know that he or she is the true star in your life.
Have a blissful Raksha Bandhan.
