On the occasion of Rakshabandhan, our TV stars reminisce their childhood rakhi which they used to celebrate it with their siblings. While enjoying the fest in zeal and zest, they talk about the special gift which they used to give and receive on Rakhi.

Tina Dutta

My brother's name is Debraj Dutta. My most memorable is when I used to celebrate Rakshanhandan in Kolkata with my all cousin and family members. This year I won't be able to go due to my work but definitely I will be sending him a rakhi. My favorite Bollywood song is behna ne bhai ki kalai mein Pyar Bhanda Hai.

Rishina Kandhari

My brother's name is Yatharth.  My most memorable Rakhi was in my childhood days when my brother was not working he used to gift me handmade greeting card or something else. This year I don't have any plans as my brother is out of town. I will courier Rakhi.  My favorite rakhi song is Bhaiya Moore Rakhi Ke Bhandan Ko Nibhana.

Divyanka Tripathi

My brother's name is Aishwarya Tripathi. My most memorable Rakhi is last three years back when my brother had come to Mumbai on Rakshabandhan and he gifted me Barbie doll set which I craved for since my childhood and I will sending him rakhi with his favorite brownies. My favourite rakhi song is Bhaiya Moore Rakhi Ke Bhandan Ko Nibhana.

Vahbbiz Dorabjee Dsena

My brother's name is Daniel Dorabjee. When I was in Pune Rakshabandhan days were most memorable. When he gave me a gift with his first earnings I felt really good about it. I pamper him a lot.

Sharad Malhotra

My real sister's name is Reema Pawa. She is a fashion designer in Kolkatta. She is married  and elder to me.I would be giving her a surprise this Rakhi by flying to Kolkatta just for couple of hours for Rakhi. The fondest memory is when I sprang a surprise few years back by going without informing. My family and sister was shocked and could not believe I was standing in front of her. She took me out for fancy lunch. She bought me a laptop as a gift and I also had carried a lot of gifts for her. I intend to surprise her this year like I had done once upon a time.

Samiksha Bhatnagar

Raksha Bandhan means occasion for family reunion. Tasty dishes, wonderful sweets and family members exchange gifts with other well wishers and relatives and share their individual experiences of life with one another. As far as our Rakhi traditions and rituals are concerned, I prep for the "pooja thali" with sweets, roli, chawal and rakhis and ties rakhi on the wrist of my brother(s), and wish for their well being. On the other hand, they acknowledge their love with a promise that they will remain by my side and protect me from every fall and down throughout the life. The most exciting part is gifts / money as a token of love. I'm unable to single out any particular Rakhi event as all are very memorable and close to my heart. While Phoolon ka Taaron ka is an evergreen song for the occasion. I particularly like two very touching songs from my childhood days Yaadon ki Baarat Nikli hai Aaj dil dware & Zindagi har kadam ek Nayi Jung hai...

Shritama Mukherjee

My brother's name is Swapnil. Our most memorable Rakhi was when we used to be in our hometown Kota either we went to our cousin's place or called them home and we three sisters used to tie him rakhi as he is the only brother. What fun it used to be. I just met my brother when I last went to Bangalore. Because we stay far away from each other and I knew I wouldn't be able to tie him rakhi this year. So as of now I can only call him and wish him on rakhi though will courier a Rakhi. And his treat will be due. Ankit Gera

My sister's name is Richa Gera . Most memorable of Rakhi is when I was in school I made a rakhi greeting card of her face and in evening when I  gave to her she showed it to everyone. Everyone started laughing on me but they also appreciate my efforts. This year I am planning to visit Delhi even my sister is coming from Canada. My sister is fond of clothes so I am planning to gift her nice dress on this Rakshabandhan.

Arjun Bijlani
I don't have real sister but my first cousin sister Rohini ties me rakhi. She is very close to me. Most memorable rakhi was last year on Rakshabandhan she came to my place early morning and I was very happy to see her. This Rakshabandhan I am planning to go at her place and I am thinking to gift her nice watch.

Aniruddh Dave

My sister name is Paridhi, memorable once. When I was small. Father used to give money to pay her as good omen (shagun) I always get Rakhi tied, but start crying. That I am not going to give money and chocolate. We always fight. But Rakhi ke din Bahut emotional Bhi hota hu.. I have around 12 cousin sisters. So for all I am the most adorable darling. I will be in Mauritius this Rakhi for a Shoot. Gift will whatever she ask for I will give to her whenever I will go to the Jaipur

I won't be able to meet them this Rakshabandhan but for sure I would be sending  some beautiful gift to them.  Every year we don't gift anything to each other. We go out and gift things to special disabled child's school or institutes. Since our childhood we have been taught to share and do things for others.

Sahil Phull

The most memorable rakhi is 2012 rakhi as both of my sisters flew to Mumbai to celebrate the festival with me and gave me surprise on the day of rakhi..  And yes..  I took them for shopping them which causes a big hole in my pocket. My Rakhi plans are not fixed yet.. If I am not shooting or can get a leave for two days..  I will fly to Jammu and celebrate rakhi with my sisters.  My younger sister Tania..
