New Delhi: As Raksha Bandhan approaches, TV stars share their excitement and traditions for the festival. They talk about how they celebrate the special bond with their siblings, from tying rakhis to reminiscing about childhood memories, even with their busy schedules.
Brinda Dahal, who plays Vaishanvi in Sun Neo’s Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, said, “Raksha Bandhan means a lot to me as I have a five-year-old brother. I love tying a rakhi on his wrist but I can’t celebrate it with him this year as he is in Nepal and I am in India shooting for Sun Neo’s show Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya. I miss him and our special rituals a lot.
”However, on the sets of Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, Shaishav, who plays my brother, reminds me a lot of him. People always praise us, saying that we look like real brothers. My real brother always gets jealous when I talk to someone else, and seeing Shaishav brings back memories of him. This year, when we all celebrate Raksha Bandhan together, I will miss having my entire family around,” she added.
Siddhi Sharma, who plays Gulki in Sun Neo’s Ishq Jabariya, said, “This year, I am planning to invite all my siblings to celebrate Raksha Bandhan, like we always do, followed by a lovely dinner together. One of my favourite memories of Raksha Bandhan is from my school days. I desperately wanted a set of dolls for my birthday, but my parents gave me something else.
Talking about the surprise gift, Siddhi said, “However, the very next month, my brother surprised me with the exact doll set I wanted. It was the most beautiful gift I have ever received in my life. On the set, Sofia Sheikh, who plays Nikku, my younger sister, is very close to me. Even though she is younger, she is protective of me like a brother and is incredibly mature and caring. She always looks out for me and I deeply appreciate her for that.”
Neelu Vaghela, who plays Maa Hukum in Sun Neo’s Saajha Sindoor, said, “Raksha Bandhan symbolises the deep trust and belief that your brother or sister will always protect you, no matter where you are. My brother lives in Dubai, so I have already sent him a Rakhi there this year.
“Last year, however, he was in India and we celebrated Raksha Bandhan together after almost 20 years. For those who are away from their siblings, it can be an emotional and challenging experience. However, I am fortunate to be surrounded by a large family of wonderful supporters, friends and protectors on the sets of Sun Neo’s Saajha Sindoor, who truly feel like siblings,” she added.
Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya, Ishq Jabariya and Saajha Sindoor are streaming on Sun Neo.
