Actress Alizeh Agnihotri is the oldest sibling of her generation in the famous Khan family. The Farrey star is superstar Salman Khan`s niece and granddaughter of screenwriter Salim Khan. The Khan family is known to celebrate all Indian festivals with equal zest, and Raksha Bandhan is no less for them. Ahead of the festival this year, Alizeh spoke to mid-day about her cherished Rakhi memory and her bond with her sibling Ayaan and cousins, Nirvaan, Arhaan, Ayat, and Ahil.
The actress, who grew up surrounded by siblings and cousins across generations, says their bond is so strong that they are “extremely dependent on each other.”
“Raksha Bandhan feels like a Sunday lunch at my grandparents’ home,” she says, adding, “The laughter, the food, the teasing- it’s all about togetherness.”
