It's a blessing to have a sibling. On the occasion of Rakshabandhan, we spoke to a few brothers and sisters about their affection for each other:

Tusshar Kapoor on sister Ekta Kapoor
Ekta’s more of a friend than an elder sister. We do advise each other being part of the same family. Ekta’s been very protective about me right since we were kids. People have this opinion of her as a tough businesswoman but when it comes to family, Ekta’s a real softie. She keeps on checking my work and offering ideas on areas where I can improve. I also try and follow her shows on television so that I can offer some inputs. Being her brother, I want her to succeed in whatever she does in life. I love her never-say-die spirit. She doesn’t give up easily. Ekta’s a strong-minded woman and extremely loyal towards her loved ones. These are the traits I admire most in her.

Farah Khan Ali on brother Zayed Khan
Zayed is my baby brother as he is the youngest amongst us three sisters. I used to babysit him as a toddler and then discipline him as a youngster. We have had a very close relationship where Zayed respects me as an elder sister at the same time we share an amazing bonding and closeness. In fact, a lot of people tell us we look alike though we are poles apart in habits. Zayed is a warm, affectionate, giving brother who lends his support when required. I feel lucky to have him in my life and always wish well for him. I love him too much.
