I will tye him Rakhi for the second time. We have a special connection and I am always there for him as and when needed. Some relationships become stronger with the passage of time. He is a very sensitive person. We may not meet as often as we would want to because of our hectic professional lives but whenever we meet, we spend quality time. I am looking forward to Rakhi and this would be truly special. He is a good person and is very caring by nature."

My Raksha Bandhan gift was given to me early this year in the form of a surprise and it is a beautiful bracelet. I was speechless and elated at the same time. With my brother by my side, I couldn’t ask for anything else in life. I’m blessed to have such an amazing brother, my friend and my forever partner in ‘masti’.”

His sister Reema says, “He is more like a friend and my confidant, we share and discuss everything happening in our lives. I'm truly blessed to have a loving and caring brother like him.

Khichdi fame Richa Bhadra shares, “My brother is like my craziest buddy and I can surely say that I don’t need superheroes when I have my set of brothers. My list starts with my brother Manav and my brothers from another mother - Maheer, Shyam, Vyom, Dhaval. I can’t imagine my parties, nightouts, dates, and life without my bundles of happiness. Proud to have the brother gang always with me and on this Raksha Bandhan I would call myself a proud sister of these super awesome brothers.”

Bhakharwadi fame Akshita shares, “Raksha Bandhan is a celebration and a vow to be there for each other. I believe, my brother, Abhishek, is also an incarnation of my father. I vividly remember the times when we were kids and our entire family would gather at my Dadaji’s house and it used to be a grand celebration where all the sisters would form a line to tie their colourful rakhis to their brothers. My brother once pulled a prank on me where he pretended that he couldn’t buy a gift. I was really upset as that is one of the most important days of the year for me. Later, he surprised me by gifting me a gorgeous handbag. Times have changed and with my hectic shoot schedule, as much as I want to recreate our childhood memories, it hasn’t been easy. Abhishek Bhaiya, my sister, Priyanka, and I make it a point to go out and spend time on this day. Priyanka and I are the closest and for my brother, I am his go-to person whenever he wants to share his thoughts.”

Roop actor Alokk shares, “I will be going to my sister's place in Mumbai and will spend time with family. Most memorable Raksha Bandhan bandhan was when I was shooting in film city and still, my sisters managed to come there and tied me rakhi. Best gift given on rakhi is difficult to guess as I usually give many gift hampers and watches to my sisters on Raksha Bandhan.

Daayan actor Mohit shares, “All my sister's are in Delhi, so I have come all the way to Delhi. I am really excited to spend some time with family. Each Raksha Bandhan is memorable, as I stay in a different city, away from family. So it's always great to come to Delhi and meet the entire family for Raksha Bandhan. Last year my phone broke around Raksha Bandhan and when I came to Delhi, my sister surprised me with a brand new iPhone. It's all about the love you share and the bond that gets stronger every year.

My Name Ijj Lakhan fame Ribbhu says, “I share a lot of things with my sister and take her advice for both personal & professional life. We make sure every year to visit each other on this day and spend time. I am shooting Kumkum Bhagya so it wasn't possible for me to go so she is coming to Mumbai. I am looking forward to it as I will be seeing her after 5 months. I have already made some plans, I will be shooting but post-shoot I have planned a nice dinner and spend some quality time with get sister. My sister gifts me anytime whenever she feels like. She knows what exactly I want and she surprises me with gifts. The gift that I have given to her which is special is around 12 years back when I had done a project and got good pay and at that time her digital camera broke. So I just wanted to surprise her and gifted a camera. The look on her was priceless and something I can never forget.

Divya Drishti fame Kushagre says, “This is probably the first time I won’t be there at Raksha Bandhan due to my hectic shooting schedule. So I have received the rakhi and the gift here in Mumbai. At every raksha bandhan all our relatives get together and we have a gala time together but this time I will be missing this celebration, pulling each other's leg, the latest gossips which make it memorable. I always take a gift from my sister. But I always tell her what I want, or send the pics of the shoes I want and she gifts me the same. Major missing will be happening this time.
