Salman Khan did not specify who tied each rakhi or provide further details about the occasion.

Other prominent actors who observed Raksha Bandhan this year include Riddhima Kapoor Sahni, Kangana Ranaut, Saif Ali Khan, Soha Ali Khan, Randeep Hooda and Sara Ali Khan.

Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Hindu festival celebrated as a symbol of the bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a rakhi bracelet around their brothers’ wrists, who in return give gifts as a sign of love and pledge to protect their sisters. The festival, observed this year on August 28, has deep cultural and religious roots in India and is mentioned in Hindu texts as a gesture of protection and familial duty.
