National Brothers Day 2025: Saru Star Anushka Merchande Shares Heartfelt Childhood Memories With Cousin

National Brothers Day 2025 Update: National Brothers Day, celebrated every year on May 24th, honours the special bond we share with our brothers - the silent protectors, mischievous companions, and lifelong friends who walk with us through every phase of life. From childhood games and friendly squabbles to life's deeper lessons and triumphs, brothers often leave a mark that words can't capture.

Whether by blood or by choice, these relationships grow with us, becoming pillars of strength and shared nostalgia. On this heartfelt occasion, some of Zee TV's most beloved actress Anushka Merchande from Saru expresses her gratitude, and celebrates the unspoken love that defines this sacred bond.

SARU ACTRESS ANUSHKA MERCHANDE ON NATIONAL BROTHERS DAY

Anushka Merchande, who essays the role of Anika in Zee TV's Saru shared, "I grew up in a household of girls, Brothers' Day holds a special place in my heart because I have grown up with my cousin brother, who has always felt like a real brother to my sisters and me. We didn't grow up under the same roof, but every vacation, every festival, and every family celebration was incomplete without him. He isn't just a cousin - he is my brother in every sense of the word."

She added, "I remember one summer, the power went out, and instead of panicking we ate Maggi, told ghost stories while holding torches under our faces. That kind of magic, the kind only childhood gives you, is what I associate with him. Even now, when adulting feels hard and the world feels too fast, I think back to those moments, and they remind me of the simplicity and joy he brings into my life. For Brother's Day, my sisters and I have planned a nostalgic movie night with him. Our favourite movies, some gossip, along with popcorn and Maggi. Some traditions are just too precious to let go."
