Raksha Bandhan a bond so strong!

They might be heroes and heroines on screen, but off it, it���s their siblings who are the ���real heroes���. On Raksha Bandhan, CT talks to Kollywood celebrities about their special moments with their siblings...
Shaam
I have always been very protective of my younger sister Shabin. In fact, I was so possessive about her during her college days that I wouldn���t let her go to college on her own.I insisted that I drop her to college and pick her up every day.
When I was 14, Shabin had broken a crystal jar at home and my father was fuming at her. Unfortunately, he was already in a bad mood that day and this incident just fuelled the fire in him. Understanding the situation, I immediately decided to rescue her and took the blame on me. Shabin and I used to fight like cats and dogs and it came as a huge surprise to her when I did the rescue act.

I will do absolutely anything for my brother. In fact, I���m launching him (Nitin) as a director this year in the Bhojpuri film industry. He always takes the flak for me. Once, when I was in class five, I took my father���s bike to a park near my home and started riding it. My brother was sitting behind me and teaching me.
By accident, I veered towards the road, smashed a car that was parked there and we both fell down. The owner got very angry and created a scene. The issue became so serious that the police had to intervene. I was so petrified that I started crying. My brother heroically took the blame!

My elder sister Shilpa has always been an inspiration to me. I used to be an introvert in school and my sister was nothing short of my role model. I still remember one incident that took place when I was in my sixth grade. My sister had forced me to take part in a play for our school annual day and had sent me for the auditions.
I was extremely nervous, but I managed to clear it. And then the real test happened. On the annual day, I was standing on the dais for the play like a nervous kid. When it was my turn to act, I almost froze and couldn���t utter a word. Suddenly, I heard the familiar voice of my sister... and in a jiffy, all my tension vanished. After the play, I gave her a big hug and presented her with a crayon painting.

I don���t have a blood brother, but my rakhi brother Sourav Sarkar is so close to me that I have never really felt the need of a real brother. Sourav is my uncle���s son. When he was born, I accompanied his father (my uncle) to bring him home. In fact, the first ever morsel of meal he had was from me. Boom, as I call him, is now in class eight and is a wicket keeper in the Calcutta junior cricket team. He���s very shy and runs away from me when I tease him, asking if he has any girlfriends. But he has said that I will be the first one to know if anything interesting happens in his life!
