Raksha Bandhan 2024 Songs

'Behna Ne Bhai Ki Kalai Par Pyar Bandha Hai.'... This song describes the unbreakable bond between brother and sister very well. On Raksha Bandhan, every sister ties a Rakhi on her brother's wrist and wishes him a happy life. There have been many stars in the film industry too who may not have been born from the womb of a mother, but they always fulfilled their Rakhi Dharma.

Dilip Kumar Lata Mangeshkar Bond

Among them, there was a brother-sister relationship between Kohinoor of Indian cinema Dilip Kumar and Swar Kokila Lata Mangeshkar beyond the glamour of their stardom. Regarding their relationship, Dilip's wife Saira Banu had said that the relationship between the two was more than that of a real brother and sister. Despite being busy with her work commitments, Lata would tie a rakhi on Dilip's hand and Saira would gift Lata a brocade saree of her choice every time.

Dilip Kumar Book

Lata Mangeshkar has shared an anecdote about Dilip Kumar in the book 'Dilip Kumar: The Substance and the Shadow' that one evening they were present at Kalyan ji-Anand ji's place for dinner. There was a plate decorated with paan and betel nuts on the table. After eating, she picked up that plate and offered paan to Yusuf Bhai (Dilip Kumar). Dilip Kumar, who was sitting happily till now, expressed his displeasure and said that this was not right.

From today onwards, you will not offer paan or betel nut to anyone. You are my younger sister. I told you this with this right? Then Lata was happy that she had such an elder brother in the industry, who was taking care of her dignity and teaching her the right thing in front of the gathering. Anyway, this affectionate bond of brother and sister remained till the end.

Brother-sister bond of Sanjeev Kumar and Anju Mahendru

Actress Anju Mahendru considered the evergreen actor Sanjeev Kumar as her Rakhi brother. She started tying Rakhi to him during the film 'Jai Jwala'. Anju says that once she told Sanjeev that this time she wanted a saree with gold tissue instead of 500 rupees on Rakshabandhan. At that time that saree used to cost around 2500 rupees. Sanjeev said you are crazy.

There are 10 more people outside in the queue to tie Rakhi. Anju said that it did not matter to her. She wants the same kind of saree. Sanjeev said in his special style that there is no money. Then he turned his briefcase towards her and asked her to see if there was money in it or not. She thought Anju would not open the briefcase, but she did, quickly took out a bundle, and happily ran down the stairs.

Anyway, Anju often gave her perfumes and glass vases as gifts.
