Raksha Bandhan, a festival celebrated on August 9th in India, sees sisters tying rakhis on their brothers’ wrists. This tradition is observed not only by common people but also by the families of prominent celebrities. The relationship between siblings, be it shared or step, often involves playful banter. However, when adversity strikes, brothers are known to stand by their sisters. This article highlights the relationships of Bollywood siblings who, though related through step-parentage, share bonds stronger than those of blood relations.
Arjun Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor, children of Boney Kapoor from different marriages, exemplify this. Arjun, from Boney’s first marriage, and Janhvi, from the second, share a close bond. Following Sridevi’s passing, Arjun embraced his role as a caring older brother, offering support to Janhvi and Khushi, along with his sister Anshula. Their camaraderie is often visible.
Shahid Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter are frequently seen enjoying each other’s company. Despite not being full siblings, their bond transcends the typical sibling relationship. Ishaan also shares a good rapport with his sister-in-law, Meera. They often share pictures together on social media.
Sara Ali Khan, the eldest daughter of Saif Ali Khan, shares a special connection with her half-brothers, Taimur and Jehangir (Jeh). Saif divorced Amrita Singh and later married Kareena Kapoor, with whom he has two sons. Sara and the younger boys share a close relationship, with Sara expressing her love for them as if they were small children.
Salman Khan is often regarded as a family man. He consistently supports his family. Arpita, though not his full sister, receives more affection from Salman than even his sister Alvira. Salman has fulfilled every duty of an older brother, from supporting Arpita’s marriage to fulfilling her smallest desires. Arpita also holds Salman in high regard.
Aliya Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt, daughters of Mahesh Bhatt from different marriages, also share a unique bond. Pooja is from Mahesh Bhatt’s first marriage, while Alia is from the second. Both are successful actresses. Pooja, being many years older than Alia, respects her immensely. Despite not being full sisters, Pooja and Alia have a special bond.
