As Raksha Bandhan graces us on August 9, 2025, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni's affection for her brother, Ranbir Kapoor, shines brightly. In anticipation of the auspicious occasion, Riddhima shared heartfelt sentiments about her bond with Ranbir, reminiscing about their childhood and the unwavering support they've provided each other over the years.

Riddhima fondly recalled their childhood Rakhi rituals, saying, “Rakhi used to be special even back then". She recounted tying the Rakhi on Ranbir's wrist before school, a tradition followed by a gift from their mother on Ranbir's behalf. Even in their younger years, she saw him as a "cute bro".

Though their lives have led them to different cities and demanding careers, Riddhima emphasizes that their connection remains strong. "We may not spend as much time together, but the connection is always there," she stated. Ensuring the Rakhi reaches him every year without fail, she sees it as a meaningful token to bring a smile to his face. When their schedules align, they celebrate in person, cherishing moments over lunch or dinner where she can tie the Rakhi face-to-face.

Riddhima proudly describes Ranbir as the "pillar of the family". She admires his dependability and constant presence in their lives, highlighting his role as a supportive figure for her and their mother. "He's there for me, for our mother; he's just always around, always dependable," she said. She also acknowledged him as a "great son, an amazing brother, a hands-on dad, a wonderful husband," ultimately recognizing him as a remarkable human being.

Riddhima also shared how she seeks Ranbir's advice, even during her recent foray into film. "Whenever I need advice, he's always there," she said, recalling how she would text him for feedback during her first film shoot. This reveals the depth of their bond, extending beyond siblinghood to a relationship of mutual respect and support.

Despite Ranbir's reserved nature, Riddhima often shares heartfelt messages and pictures that reveal the warmth and strength of their bond. Their connection reflects the quiet strength and deep-rooted affection siblings carry throughout their lives.

Although she wishes she could be in Mumbai this year to celebrate Raksha Bandhan with Ranbir, she ensures that the Rakhi will reach him on time, hoping it brings him joy. This reflects the sentiment of siblings who, despite distance and busy lives, maintain their connection through traditions and heartfelt gestures.
