While Friends might have been about people forming a surrogate family during their struggles as young people in the real world, Ross and Monica were actual siblings within the group. These two were all grown up during their show, so they were past the hormonal fighting that is seen between many other brothers and sisters on TV.
Ross and Monica showed how you can be an adult but still retain that childishness one only shows in front of family and though they were related by blood, they also show us what true friendship can be like. Whether it is Ross' failed marriages, the Geller Cup of Monica's OCD, they're always there for each other. This Raksha Bandhan, celebrate the most relatable Brother -Sister duo with Handpicked episodes of FRIENDS on 3rd August, Monday, noon onwards, only on Comedy Central.
