Raksha Bandhan isn’t just a festival — it’s a celebration of one of life’s most special bonds. And while every family has their own traditions, Bollywood families always manage to make it a little more glamorous, a little more heart-melting, and yes… a little more Instagram-worthy.
This year, on August 9, celebrities from Akshay Kumar to Priyanka Chopra took to social media to show off their Rakhi celebrations and send warm wishes to their siblings. The posts weren’t just pretty pictures — they were filled with affection, nostalgia, and a healthy dose of sibling banter.
Akshay Kumar – A Heartfelt Message for Sister Alka
Akshay Kumar kept it simple, sweet, and deeply personal. Sharing a photo of himself sitting with his sister Alka as she tied the Rakhi, he captioned it with a line that says it all: “Aankhein band hai, toh maa dikh rahi hai. Aur aankhein khol kar teri smile. Love you Alka. Happy Rakhi.”
Dressed casually, Akshay looked completely at home, soaking in the warmth of the occasion. It was a glimpse into a bond that has clearly stood the test of time — one rooted in love, respect, and countless shared memories.
Priyanka Chopra – Celebrating Across Borders
Priyanka Chopra might be halfway across the world, but that didn’t stop her from making sure her brother Siddharth felt the love. Since she couldn’t be in India, cousin Mannara Chopra stepped in to tie the Rakhi on her behalf.
Priyanka shared a picture of Mannara tying the sacred thread on Siddharth’s wrist, writing: “Happy Rakshabandhan @siddharthchopra98. @memannara for tying the rakhi on my behalf. Love you both.”
It was a reminder that distance might change how you celebrate, but it can’t dull the strength of the sibling bond.
Arjun Kapoor – Six Sisters, Infinite Drama
Arjun Kapoor knows the sibling life in full volume — literally. With six sisters in the mix, there’s no shortage of love, laughter, and, of course, drama.
On Instagram, Arjun posted a collage featuring Anshula Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor, and Rhea Kapoor. His caption summed up the chaos beautifully: “With six sisters, it means six times the drama, the chaos, the fights, and the banter, but also immeasurable love. Happy Raksha Bandhan.”
If sibling love had a blockbuster poster, this family photo might just be it.
Ibrahim Ali Khan – Promises to Sara Ali Khan
Ibrahim Ali Khan went the sentimental route, sharing a series of happy photos with sister Sara Ali Khan. In a touching note, he promised to always be her rock:
“Dear sister @saraalikhan95, I promise in this lifetime to always take care of you, always stand by you, always support you. I promise to give you love, strength and everything I can, even if I can’t. Forever and ever your little bhai Jaan. Love you the most, happy Rakhi. #strongertogether”
It’s the kind of message that makes you smile — and maybe text your own sibling, just because.
Riddhima Kapoor Sahni – Family First
Riddhima Kapoor Sahni kept her Rakhi celebration low-key but full of love. Sharing a picture from the family get-together with her brother Ranbir Kapoor, she extended heartfelt wishes that fans couldn’t stop liking.
It was another reminder that, whether you’re a superstar or not, Raksha Bandhan is really about those small moments of connection with your sibling.
More Than Just Social Media
While these posts give fans a peek into celebrity celebrations, they also highlight what the festival is truly about — a promise of protection, care, and lifelong friendship between brothers and sisters.
From Akshay’s poetic tribute to Priyanka’s cross-continental celebration, from Arjun’s lively family banter to Ibrahim’s heartfelt promises, Bollywood’s Raksha Bandhan 2025 was a blend of tradition, togetherness, and modern expressions of love.
It’s proof that no matter how famous you are, some things never change — the teasing, the inside jokes, the occasional arguments, and that unshakable feeling that your sibling will always have your back.
