New Delhi: As Raksha Bandhan approaches, TV stars share their excitement and traditions for the festival. They discuss how they celebrate this special bond with their siblings, from tying rakhis to reminiscing childhood memories, despite their busy schedules.
Vrinda Dahal who plays Vaishnavi in ​​Sun Neo’s Chhathi Maiya Ki Bitiya said, “Raksha Bandhan means a lot to me as I have a five-year-old brother. I love tying rakhi on his wrist, but this year I can’t celebrate Raksha Bandhan with him as he is in Nepal and I am shooting for Sun Neo’s show Chhathi Maiya Ki Bitiya in India. I am really missing him and our special rituals.
”However, on the sets of Chhathi Maiya Ki Bitiya, Shaishav, who plays my brother, reminds me a lot of him. People always compliment us, say we look like real siblings. 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 my entire family,” she added.
Siddhi Sharma who plays Gulki in Sun Neo’s Ishq Jabariya said, “This year, I am planning to invite all my brothers to celebrate Raksha Bandhan as we always do, followed by a lovely dinner together. One of my fondest memories of Raksha Bandhan is from my school days. I wanted a doll set for my birthday, but my parents got me something else instead.
Talking about the surprise gift, Siddhi said, “However, the next month, my brother gave me the exact doll set I wanted. It was the most beautiful gift I have ever received. On the set, Sofia Sheikh, who plays Nikku, is my younger sister and is very close to me. Although she is younger, she protects me like a brother and is incredibly mature and caring. She always takes care of me and I am very grateful to her for that.”
Neelu Vaghela who plays Maa Hukum in Sun Neo’s show Saaja Sindoor said, “Raksha Bandhan is a symbol of deep trust and faith 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 this year.
However, last year 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 that I have a big family of amazing supporters, friends and protectors on the sets of Sun Neo’s Saaja Sindoor, who truly feel like siblings.”
Chhathi Maiya Ki Bitiya, Ishq Jabariya and Sahaj Sindoor air on Sun Neo.
