Raksha Bandhan Special Charrul Malik: The birth of our brother felt like God made our dream come true

“No love is bigger than the love of siblings”. This is exactly what Rakhi is all about: a celebration to demonstrate that we siblings care for and adore one other.

Rakhi is a particularly unique festival for all brothers and sisters. In the same vein, Himanshu Malhotra revealed his rakhi plans. The actor told “My sister Dharti has strictly told me to stay at home as she would visit me and tie rakhi this Raksha Bandhan. Even my sister Pooja has sent Rakhi for me and my brother Mohit. I have to shop for gifts. Raksha Bandhan is about developing and enhancing the bond. Sisters are beautiful, they take care of you in every aspect. Whenever my sister and I meet we go to Iskon, have some food and spend time with each other. She is very precious to me. My sister Pooja also always stays in touch with me. It’s a loving and caring bond. My sisters are simple and pure and I am not emotionally dependent on anyone”

Sisters have grown up understanding that Rakasha Bandhan is about tying rakhi on the wrists of brothers, however as we get older, some of us may separate from our siblings.

Talking about the same Charrul Malik stated ” My Rakshabandhan plans have been the same for the last few years. My brother lives in the USA and my twin sister Parool lives twenty minutes away from my brother’s house, so she ties rakhi to my brother on my behalf and we celebrate rakhi on a video call. It’s not possible for me to visit the USA every year. The most special thing about Rakshabandhan is that my brother was born only a day or two before August 11, and my sister and I were happy as it felt like God made our dream come true because we always wanted a little brother. So we celebrate rakhi two times now because my brother’s birthday is on August 8 and Raksha Bandhan’s dates are flexible. This is why Rakhi is such a special occasion for us. It’s a brother-sister relationship, it’s a very special bond because my brother lives far away like ‘Saat Samundar Paar’ but I am happy that my twin sister is with him. It’s a very dear relationship we have. We don’t nag or bully each other and are always there for one another in good and bad times. I feel that this is what a brother-sister bond looks like. The best thing about my brother and sister is that my sister is my twin and we are very connected, my younger brother is very lovely and he’s an amazing person too. I am not very emotionally dependent on my siblings. We do discuss everything whenever we get stuck somewhere or we have certain questions in mind or we want someone to brief us we talk to each other. We connect a lot and we talk once every four days at least and the calls are always too long. This year I am hoping to visit my siblings because it’s been a very long time since I’ve met them.” (sic)

For the unversed, as per the government calendar, Raksha Bandhan 2022 will be celebrated on the 11 of August.
