In a recent podcast with Digital Commentary on YouTube, Berlin actor Aparshakti Khurana opened up about the childhood tradition of touching his elder brother Ayushmann Khurrana’s feet every morning. Aparshakti recalled that after a fight where he used foul language, he was given an ultimatum by their father: either touch Ayushmann’s feet daily and call him “bhaiya,” or leave the house. 

From this day on, you will call him ‘bhaiya’ and every morning you will touch his feet in the morning and that is the only way you can stay in this house, or you can’t stay in this house
