The entire family was dressed in the most elegant way, and the fun they had together, was quite evident in the pictures. Before we move on to the pictures from Rakhi celebrations of the Bachchan-Rai clan, Abhishek and Amitabh Bachchan took us on a road down the memory lane with throwback pictures from their family album.
To mark Raksha Bandhan 2019, Amitabh Bachchan posted two priceless black-and-white pictures of the brother-sister duo, Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan Nanda, and wrote, “RakshaBandhan... the love of the sister... the protection of the brother... the strong bond everlasting and sincere.” Abhishek too, took the nostalgic road to wish his dear sister, Shweta on Raksha Bandhan. Posting a picture in which they are cuddled in their father’s arms, and the little one tries to take his big sister’s doll, Abhishek captioned it, “Been picking on her since 1976! Happy Rakhi @shwetabachchan Love you. #brothersandsisters.” To which, Shweta replied, “Pudding. love you G. Why do you want my doll though?”

It is a rare moment when we get to see the Rai family, who prefers to stay away from media glare but all thanks to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her sister-in-law, Shrima Rai, that we get sneak peeks of them like gold dust. On Rakhi 2019, Shrima posted a video of the rituals at the Rai household and captioned it as “Raksha Bandhan 2019 with the boys today Raksha Bandhan is celebrated by us more for the remembrance of sibling love and blessings. A little glimpse into this festival. @aishwaryaraibachchan_arb & @adtiya_.rai.”
On Koffee With Karan Season 6, featuring the brother-sister duo, Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Abhishek Bachchan, the former had talked about how the professional failures that affect their family and why she doesn’t want her daughter, Navya Naveli Nanda to go through the same. Elaborating on the same, Shweta had shared, “Absolutely yes! I’m on Instagram and I follow my brother and know the hate he gets. Whether you like him as an actor or not, it will bother to me as a sister. I hated it, it gave me sleepless nights and I don’t want yet another member of my family to be in this business for selfish reasons. Firstly, I don’t know what Navya’s talent is. Just because she is related to some famous people, doesn’t mean she has what she takes.”
Expressing the fear of failure in the showbiz world and why she kept her daughter away from it, Shweta had continued, “I think I was excessive, I was unfair, I thought selfishly... One of the bonuses of coming from a family that's in the movies, I know the heartbreak. Coming from a family that was involved in movies, the second generation was involved in the movies be it my brother or my sister-in-law, I see their faces when things don't work out.” (Also Read: Misha Kapoor And Zain Kapoor Twin With Their Star Parents As They Celebrate First Rakhi Together)
