Rakhi: TV Actors Share Their Childhood Memories

MUMBAI:  Those days of playing 'ghar-ghar', special surprises and gifts - TV actors like Paridhi Sharma and Roopal Tyagi have fond memories of how they spent Raksha Bandhan with their siblings in the past.

This year, they plan to make the festival memorable in a different way. Paridhi, who essays Jodha in TV show "Jodha Akbar", said: "Since childhood I was very fond of playing 'ghar-ghar’ and my brother, being a boy, was always reluctant to play along but still used to do so to keep me happy."

For Rakhi, she was keen to go to Indore to spend time with her family but shooting schedules will keep her busy. So what's the plan? "One of the news channels is going to connect me to my brother through video conferencing and they will be airing the segment. It is going to be an entirely new experience for me and I am looking forward to it," she said in a statement.

Mrunal Thakur, the Bulbul from "Kumkum Bhagya", regards the festival "extremely close to my heart". "I had always wanted a brother and after praying for 12 long years, my wish was finally fulfilled the day he was born. I vividly remember our first Raksha Bandhan, I was super excited and got him a ‘Chota Bheem’ Rakhi," she said.
