Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 19 (ANI): Who said Raksha Bandhan is only about brothers protecting sisters? The meaning of the festival has changed over the years and people celebrate the occasion in their own different ways. Actor Bhumi Pednekar and her sister Samiksha celebrate Raksha Bandhan by tying rakhi (sacred thread) on each other's wrists. As it's Raksha Bandhan today, Bhumi took to Instagram and penned a short yet beautiful note for her sibling.
"Love you @samikshapednekar (Red heart emoji). To us just being there for each other (infinity emoji)#HappyRakshabandhan," she captioned the post. https://www.

The other image shows Bhumi holding baby Samiksha in her arms. In one of the previous interviews with ANI, the 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' star opened up about how she marks the festival with her younger sister Samiksha every year. "Raksha Bandhan stands for protecting your loved ones.
I don't believe in the concept that only brothers and sisters can celebrate the festival. I don't believe in it at all. I tie rakhi on my sister and my mother's wrists and then they tie me a rakhi.
We celebrate the festival with full joy back at home. Raksha Bandhan is about appreciating people you love," she said. Samiksha is quite famous for her beauty endorsements on social media.
She is often mistaken as Bhumi's twin. Me.
