Mumbai: Who said Raksha Bandhan is just a celebration between brothers protecting their sisters? The meaning of the festival has changed over the years and people celebrate the occasion in their own way.
Actress Bhumi Pednekar and her sister Samiksha celebrate Raksha Bandhan by tying a rakhi (sacred thread) on their wrists.
As today is Raksha Bandhan, Bhumi took to Instagram and penned a short yet beautiful note for her brother. “I love you @samikformednekar (red heart emoji). For being there for each other (infinity emoji) #HappyRakshabandhan” She captioned the post.
Bhumi also posted a few pictures with Samiksha. In the first picture, Samiksha can be seen tying a rakhi on Bhumi’s wrist. The other picture shows Bhumi holding baby Samiksha in her arms.
In one of the earlier interviews with ANI, the ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ star opened up about how she celebrates the festival with her younger sister Samiksha every year.
“Raksha Bandhan means protecting your loved ones. I don’t believe in the concept that only brothers and sisters can celebrate the festival. I don’t believe in that at all. I tie rakhi on my sister and mother’s wrists and then they tie a rakhi on me. We celebrate the festival with full joy at home. Raksha Bandhan is all about cherishing the people you love,” she said.
Samiksha is quite famous for her beauty recommendations on social media. She is often mistaken for Bhumi’s twin. Meanwhile, on the work front, Bhumi will be seen in the serial ‘Daldal’. In the project, she will be seen playing the role of a police officer.
Sharing what the audience can expect from the series, Bhumi said, “Daldal is a project that encapsulates all these qualities of being a woman. Rita is an overachiever, barrier-breaker and rule-writer in a man’s world. She is ambitious, passionate about her work and leads from the front. These are the kind of women I idolise and I am thrilled to headline a series like this on a global streaming platform that will help me showcase the strength and resilience of Indian women to the world.”
“Daldal is one of my most special projects for many, many reasons. I have started shooting for the project and I can already say that it will be one of the most challenging roles I have ever had,” he added. Amrit Raj Gupta is the director of the series. He also has ‘The Royals’ to his credit.
