| Amisha Patel to Ashmit Patel
Why tie a rakhi? The brother- sister duo fell apart when Amisha slapped a legal notice on her father and accused her parents of controlling her assets.
While Amisha was expecting support, Ashmit decided to stick by his parents. Ashmit's infamous MMS clip with Riya Sen annoyed Ami further. The siblings are not on talking terms, but Ashmit has been aching to reconnect with his sister.
Bond beneficiary: Both of them. Rakhi's true spirit will persist when the brother and sister will resolve their differences and get back together. | | | Mallika Sherawat to John Abraham
Why tie a rakhi? They met pretty late. But when the hottest man in Bollywood met the sexiest woman during the Rockstars concert, Bipasha Basu had every reason to worry.
Apparently, the sexy Sherawat and the attractive Abraham rocked together. Back home, the rumours of John-Bips break-up made rounds to an extent that the couple had to make frequent public appearances together to display their devotion towards each other.
Bond beneficiary: Bipasha Basu will heave a sigh of relief if the Murder girl ties a rakhi on Johny Baba's wrist. This raksha bandhan will leave the Bong beauty surakshit. | | | Reporter Ruchi to Aman Varma
Why tie a rakhi? Varma, till then television's nice guy, took a stinging image slap when a journalist posing as an aspiring actress (code name Ruchi) made his amorous intentions clear on national TV.
Ever since, Varma — of the squeaky-clean, detergent-peddling image — has never been able to wash the blob off. Ruchi Reporter, on the other hand, became a household name.
Bond beneficiary: Should Ruchi tie Aman a rakhi, the actor can save himself from being the target of those innumerable jokes that were cracked at him after the sting operation. | | | Rakhi Sawant to Mika Singh
Why tie a rakhi? Does this one even need explaining? Everything was fine until pop singer Mika kissed item-girl Rakhi Sawant on the lips.
Then, all hell broke loose. Rakhi went to press crying foul on how her modesty had been outraged. News channels dedicated prime time slots to the 'kiss'a with the National Commission of Women also intervening.
Bond beneficiary: Mika, who must be cursing himself for having kissed Sawant. Raksha Bandhan seems to an apt occasion for the warring twosome to err... kiss... and make up. And, of course, for the common man who has suffered an overdose of Rakhi and her gyaan. | | | Priyanka Chopra to Akshay Kumar
Why tie a rakhi? Both the actors set the screen on fire with their sizzling chemistry. However, it seems Khiladi Kumar and Ms Piggy Chops took their reel life roles too seriously.
So much so, that wife Tina had strict aitraaz over their endearing andaaz. So Akki has decided to keep his grihasthi intact by not being seen anywhere near the former Miss World.
Bond beneficiary: Twinkle. The star wife will be relieved as the rumours would finally get buried and, of course, the on-screen lovers will once again get back in action. Only on screen, of course! | | | Shweta Tiwari to Ronit Roy
Why tie a rakhi? Tellydom's favourite pair, Prerna and Mr Bajaj, who manage to tide over every on-screen kasauti together, can't see eye-to-eye in real life. Known for their ego clashes and the infamous Holi hungama, these two grab attention for all the wrong reasons.
Bond beneficiary: The production and creative unit of Balaji Telefilms, who are tired of their stars' constant tantrums and inflated egos. Whether Shweta and Ronit like the idea or not, the Balaji unit will be more than willing to try this out for the sake of peace! | | | Arundhati Roy to Aamir Khan
Why tie a rakhi? Writer-activist Arundhati Roy suspected the perfectionist Khan's motives of joining the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) movement and challenged him to give up his cola endorsement to prove his credibility. Aamir, on the other hand, continued his campaign giving Arundhati's comments a deaf ear. That's how Aamir is, isn't he?
Bond beneficiary: The NBA movement supporters, as both celebrities are much coveted in their respective fields and their joint efforts will ensure better results for the cause. | | | Pretti Jaiin to Madhur Bhandarkar
Why tie a rakhi? Starlet Pretti Jaiin created quite a sensation when she accused director Madhur Bhandarkar of raping her. According to Jaiin, the director had promised her the lead role in his films.
Known for his woman-centric movies, this incident blemished Madhur's fledgling career, but didn't leave a dent.
Pretti, on the other hand, bagged some B grade films. Interestingly, a film was even made on the Pretti-Madhur saga.
Bond beneficiary: Both of them. Madhur, who suffered sleepless nights after Pretti's FIR and constant media scrutiny, will finally find some respite. This could be a viable option for Jain too, as a rakhi could result in getting her those roles for which she once aspired. | | | Aishwarya Rai to Shah Rukh Khan
Why tie a rakhi? It hasn't been smooth sailing for the reigning King and Queen of the marquee. The duo rocked as siblings in Josh, and they drained us emotionally as the doomed lovers in Devdas.
But despite being a super hit jodi in all aspects, Shah Rukh replaced Ash with Rani Mukerji in his home production Chalte Chalte when Ash's then boyfriend created a ruckus on the film's sets. Ever since, the two haven't shared screen space.
Bond beneficiary: Be it the all-consuming passion of Devdas-Paro, or the sibling revelry of Max-Shirley, SRK-Ash have been stunning. For the sake of their fans and film lovers, the two should think over our suggestion. Do we hear a ceasefire? | | | Ekta Kapoor to Rajeev Khandelwal
Why tie a rakhi? He was her blue-eyed boy, and rightly so. Rajeev Khandelwal became a household name when he played Sujal in Kahiin To Hoga. The show's star attraction was his irrepressible chemistry with Kashish (Aamna Shariff). But the producer and actor parted ways when Rajeev started to have problems with the script and decided to quit. This decision was a loss to both the parties, as KTH could never revive the old magic nor could Rajeev.
Bond beneficiary: Besides brother Tusshar, Ekta should consider Rajeev for a rakhi brother as it will get her original star back to the fold. Rajeev, too, should consider going down this road, because by now he must have realised that it is the Ekta-Rajeev combo that creates the thrill. A truely symbiotic affair, if there ever was one! | | |
