Raksha Bandhan is one festival that is celebrated in a big way on the Bollywood screen. From songs dedicated to brother and sister bonding to stories showing sisters or brothers sacrificing their lives for siblings often become a major part of the script of a movie.
However, even in real life, there are a few Bollywood families who follow this ritual of celebrating Raksha Bandhan every year.
Abhishek and Shweta Bachchan
This brother-sister duo never shies away from proclaiming their love for each other. Be it sharing the couch on Karan Johar’s famous talk show and talking about each other’s flaws and pros to appreciating the work of each other, Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta also very much love to share updates about their celebrations on social media. Their family is known to celebrate Rakhi with full traditional norms and the glimpses of the same can be checked from their Instagram feeds.
Alvira, Arpita and Salman Khan
Salman Khan along with his brothers Arbaaz and Sohail also celebrate Raksha Bandhan with his sisters Alvira and Arpita Khan every year. While Alvira is the real sister, Arpita was adopted by his parents and is the youngest and the most loved sister of all.
Kareena and Ranbir Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor is the only brother from the Kapoor Khandan and hence he has all his sisters including sibling Riddhima, and cousins Kareena Kapoor Khan and Karisma Kapoor tying rakhis on his hands. The Kapoor’s are known for celebrating all the festivals together and every year gather to celebrate Raksha Bandhan.
Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim
Sara Ali Khan loves to travel to religious places and celebrate festivals. Last year she shared adorable pictures of tying rakhis to Ibrahim and Taimur Ali Khan on Raksha Bandhan. It was a cute moment for the eldest Sara to celebrate rakhi with her younger brothers.
Arjun Kapoor and Anshula Kapoor
These two are one of the closest siblings in Bollywood. After the early death of their mother, Arjun was the one who took care of Anshula as their father Boney Kapoor lived with his second wife Sridevi, and their daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. Although after the death of Sridevi, the families have come closer, even then Arjun and Anshula continue to share the closest bond.
Cousins Sonam, Rhea, and Shanaya Kapoor also join this family Raksha Bandhan celebration every year.
