Famous Brothers and Sisters from Bollywood
Raksha Bandhan! These two words
instill a certain level of emotion along with affection in us. This age-old
festival has numerous back stories and traditions to support its existence. One
of the most prominent stories as to how and why the festival of Rakhi was
started was that of Draupadi, the queen of pandavas and princess of drupad and
Lord Krishna. It is believed that Lord Krishna cut his finger while flying a
kite and queen Draupadi tore a piece of cloth from her saree and tied it on his
wound. Thus, this gesture pleased Lord Krishna so much so that he swore to
protect queen Draupadi and thus, started the tradition of Rakhi.
However, over the years, more stories added to the festival and the essence of
Rakhi got even pure and emotional. Just as this festival gets us pumped and
charges, so does Bollywood. Bollywood or the India film cinema is the one of the
most successful, widely acclaimed and recognised cinemas in the world. It is a
world of glamour, success, highs, downs, and of course families. A peep into
their world is all one desires, however, we can only bring to you a piece of the
sweet bonds these families have.
On the happy and jolly occasion of Raksha Bandhan, we wish to celebrate the
brother & sisters of Bollywood who have touched our lives in some way or the
other.

6) Anushka Sharma & Karnesh Sharma – Yes,
you read that right! Anushka Sharma (Now Kohli) has a sibling. Karnesh Sharma is
Anushka’s elder brother and a film maker. Anushka Sharma who recently got
married to the Indian Cricket team captain Virat Kohli has appeared in almost 20
films ever since Rab ne bana di Jodi in 2008. She is a mega Bollywood star and

8) Sarah Ali Khan & Ibrahim Ali Khan – We
all know of the Bollywood and royal trio Saif, Sara & Saba ali Khan Pataudi.
However, with her recent entry into Bollywood, Sarah Ali Khan is the new
favourite from the pataudi family to be spotted. She made her debut into
Bollywood by doing “Kedarnath” with sushant singh Rajput and has been
appreciated for her inspirational story of weight loss. She has a brother and
younger sibling Ibrahim Ali Khan along with a half-brother Taimur Ali Khan.

legendary actors Saif Ali Khan & Amrita Singh. They have an age gap of 4 years.
While Ibrahim is yet to finish his studies, this brother-sister Jodi is often
spotted in London spending time and sharing lighter moment with each other.
9) Saif Ali Khan & Soha Ali Khan - Saif Ali khan has already
planted his foot firmly in the bollywood terra firma, with films like Dil Chahta
Hai, Hum Tum, Parineeta, Omkara, Eklavya: The Royal Guard, Tashan, Love Aaj Kal,
Kurbaan…the list is long. Alternatively, his sister’s career graph is showing a
relative slump, though she won praises for her performances in the Bengali film
Antar Mahal and Rang De Basanti.
There’s a 10 years gap between Saif and Soha. So when Saif was young, obviously
Soha was not around. And interestingly, festivals like Rakhi were more of a
simple affair in the family and in fact it was all about acknowledging the day
and her big brother. Though the couple has been busy in their separate lives
lately, they make it a point to meet each other if they are in Mumbai around
this time.
Famed cricketer Nawab Pataudi & actress Sharmila Tagore are their parents.
10) Abhishek Bachchan & Shweta Bachchan - Do
they need an introduction? Their names speak volumes about their pedigree. Just
for the records, Abhishek & Shweta Bachchan are children of evergreen legendary
actors Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. Abhishek is a known Bollywood actor &
is married to Aishwarya Rai while Shweta Bachchan has taken on to journalism and
is married to business man Nikhil Nanda.
On her relationship with Abhishek, Shweta informs, that since childhood Abhi
always dreamt of becoming an actor. Brother dear would go around the sets and
was a big hit among the crew members and the cast alike, and they pampered him
too. Props like swords and hand pistols were his play things. Even at home Abhi
performed action sequences with all his might, but it was her unfortunate dolls
and teddy bears that bore the brunt of his theatrical fury.
11) Farhan Akthar and Zoya Akthar - Both
brother and sister have slipped into director’s garb quite effortlessly.
However, Farhan has evolved into a multitalented personality. Besides being a
celebrated director he has gone on to prove his mettle in acting and singing
spheres as well. Zoya, on the other hand, exhibited her talent with her
directorial debut ‘Luck By Chance’, were brother Farhan played the lead role.
Certainly, Zoya Akthar came into limelight just recently, however, all through
these years she’s been there, right behind her brother, assisting him in all his
directorial endeavors as an assistant director, casting director, executive
co-producer and so on. Thanks to the comfort level they enjoy, when Zoya Akhtar
decided to direct her first film, she couldn’t think of taking anybody but her
brother to play the lead role in “Luck By Chance”.
Farhan and Zoya are twins and have renowned screen writers and lyricist, Javed
Akhtar and Honey Irani as their parents
12) Sharman Joshi & Manasi Joshi - Think of
Sharman and the first thing that comes to mind is his role in ‘3 idiots’, an
innocent, ambitious student putting in his best to clear his exams from one of
the finest engineering colleges in the country. In addition, he also gave some
impeccable performances in Rang De Basanti, and then his role in Life in a Metro
did manage to capture the critic’s eye. But not many people know that his sister
Manasi Joshi is a known television actress and is married to TV host and actor
Rohit Roy
Sharman and Manasi belong to a family of actors and performing artists. The
acting genes visibly run in the family. And sissy dear is full of praises for
her sibling brother. As she says, Sharman has come quite a way and we all proud
of his achievements
13) Hrithik roshan and Sunaina Roshan - He
is the one of the most sought after and one of the best looking actors we have
on the Bollywood block, while she apparently is a late bloomer, yet to find her
ground in the tinsel town. Sunaina Roshan is the elder sister of Hrithik Roshan
and has in fact produced the movie Krazzy 4 together with her dad, Rakesh Roshan,
with Hrithik in the lead role. She was also co-producing kites, but failed to
make it till the end.
Life was not a bed of roses for Sunaina Roshan, a divorced, single mother who
had to battle cancer in the early stages of life. However, she’s once again
settled in life and the Roshan’s especially her brother Hrithik seem to be
extremely happy for her
14) Aishwarya Rai & Aditya Rai - Often claimed to be the most
beautiful women in the world by the media, Aishwarya Rai is also one of the
highest paid actresses in Bollywood and is married into the First Family of
Bollywood: The Bachchans. Elder brother Aditya Rai is a merchant navy officer
and a few years back had produced a movie Dil Ka Rishta starring his sister
Aishwarya Rai, Arjun Rampal & Priyanshu Chatterjee.
On her relationship with Aditya, Ash informs, that during her teenage years she
had constant fights with her brother – listen to this- not because he was her
elder brother, but because she felt on par with him. When she entered college,
she feared that, Elder-Brother Syndrome would take over big time. But to her
surprise, they became the best of friends.
15) Ekta Kapoor and Tusshar Kapoor - Ekta Kapoor has consolidated her position behind the camera as one of the most successful producers, and a force to reckon with. Havin accomplished a great deal at a young age, she knows what her job is. She has also done her bit in trying to promote and help her brother Tusshar Kapoor make his mark in films. Whether by giving him a role is her films, or with a hand in all her other endeavours, she is always by his side.
The relationship of
Arjun Kapoor & Anshula Kapoor or Sarah Ali Khan & Ibrahim Ali Khan gives us a
peek into how thick and strongly tied these families are. Staying under the
spotlight all the time, you always want to come back to a family. In Arjun &
Anshula kapoor’s life, after the separation of their parents or the death of
their mother, all they had was each other. Arjun has brilliantly taken care of
his sister and half-sisters Khushi & Janhvi Kapoor after the demise of the
legendary actress Sridevi.
These siblings are more than siblings to each other. They are an entire family
to each other. Thus, the feature of these young brave-hearts and entertainers
who inspire us with their craft.
