Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 9 : The festival of Rakshabandhan was celebrated with love and laughter by actor Anupam Kher.
Kher, who marks every day with his sister-in-law Reema Kher, took to his Instagram account on Saturday to share an adorable video. In the video, Reema is seen tying a rakhi on his wrist.
Along with the video, Kher also added a note expressing his feelings about the tradition and shared some light-hearted moments from the celebration.
He wrote in Hindi, "Like every year, this time too, my sister-in-law Reema tied me a rakhi on behalf of herself and all my sisters. It is a very pleasant feeling when such traditions are celebrated as festivals among all family members. The funny part is that 'Nikkar wale Baba' still did not wear full pants! And he kept repeating the same mantra again and again. Mother's eyes were more on the box of sweets than on me. And the rest of the family members were enjoying it all. Thank you, Reema, for your love and respect! Long live sisters!"
