Raksha Bandhan may well be a festival for sisters and brothers to reaffirm their bonds, but say what you will, it will always be the safest way for women to say an unapologetic 'no' to unwanted attention. We ask Sandalwood's leading ladies who they'd like their Rakhi bhaiyyas to be and we ask the 'bhaiyyas' what they'd gift their behnaa's in returnu2026
I would love it to be our Shivanna, because he's one of the eldest stars in the industry and we all love him like a brother. However, Iu00a0 remember once tying a Rakhi to a friend in college, only because I couldn't stand his open advances

Iu00a0am not too comfortable with making any actor my bhaiyya, at least not right now. I, anyway,u00a0 have loads of brothers in my extended family and they often take up all my time on Raksha Bandhan

My Rakhi bhaiyyas for this year will be my much-loved, good friends Vijay Raghvendra and Prajwal Devaraj. They are more than just my bhaiyyas and are extremely sweet guys

Vijay Raghavendra: Sure, I'd love to be her bhaiyya. Who wouldn't want to be the bhaiyya of such a sweet girl? If she ties me a Rakhi, I will give her a box of yummy chocolates and would have surely blessed her for her future career. I'm not really worried about audience reactions, as even if I do look at her as a sister, if we're asked to play the role of lovers, I'm sure we can do that. The professional life of an actor always differs from the real life he leads.
Neettoo: Vijay Raghavendra and Vishal Hegde would be my perfect Rakhi bhaiyyas for this year. We're already best friends and this will only bring us closer. All I'd want in return from them would be a box of chocolates and loads of blessings. I'm usually shy to act with friends as lovers in my films, which is why I'd rather limit my Rakhi brothers to just these two.
Raksha Bandhan has lost its real place in most of our hearts, but if Neetoo does want to tie a Rakhi for me, I'll be honoured. We are, after all, the best of friends
Vishaal Hegde
I don't want any bhaiyyas in the industry, thank you! I'd rather be the same with all my male stars as you can never say who'll be the co-star in your next film. I do have my own brother to tie my Rakhi on. He'll suffice for now
