Raksha Bandhan 2023 | Meet Actress Ashi Singh Reveals How She’s Celebrating Rakhi: Me & My Brother…

Ashi Singh On Rakhi: Raksha Bandhan, commonly referred to as Rakhi, is a Hindu festival that commemorates the cherished bond between siblings. This celebration takes place on the final day of the lunar month of Sawan (Shravan) in the Hindu calendar. The term Raksha Bandhan originates from Sanskrit and signifies the "bond of protection."

WHY WE CELEBRATE RAKSHA BANDHAN?

Each year, sisters adorn their brothers' wrists with a ceremonial thread called rakhi, symbolizing their commitment to safeguarding each other. In return, brothers pledge to stand by and safeguard their sisters throughout their lives.

This year, Raksha Bandhan falls on August 30 and 31. According to the Drik Panchang, the dual dates are attributed to Bhadra Kaal, a period in which traditional Raksha Bandhan rituals are discouraged. As a result, the occasion can be observed on these two specified dates.

During this festive day, sisters affectionately tie rakhis onto their brothers' wrists, offering prayers for their well-being and success. The celebration is further heightened as siblings exchange sweets and presents, adding an extra layer of excitement to the festival.

ASHI SINGH ON HER RAKHSHA BANDHAN PLANS

TV actress Ashi Singh, who currently essays the lead role of Sumeet in the popular ZEE TV show Meet, recently opened up about her Raksha Bandhan plans. She said, "Every year, me and my brother celebrate Rakshabandhan together and this year too, we plan the same. This day is really very special for both of us as I get to make demands and he has to fulfill it. My brother is a chef and I love to eat, so he always ensures to cook my favourite dish on Rakshabandhan. This year, I will be mostly shooting, so will tie him the rakhi either before going there or after returning from the shoot. That's how we will celebrate it this year."

Here's wishing everyone a very happy Raksha Bandhan!
