Mumbai: Amid the glitter of showbiz and the constant buzz of cameras, actress Nikita Rawal chose to keep her Rakshabandhan celebrations refreshingly real this year. Steering away from grandeur, the actress embraced her Gujarati roots and marked the occasion in the most simple yet soulful way with her beloved brother.
Dressed in a graceful traditional outfit, Nikita tied the sacred rakhi on her brother’s wrist, symbolizing the eternal bond of love, protection, and trust. The warmth of the celebration was evident — no extravagant décor, no elaborate fanfare, just pure sibling affection wrapped in the comfort of home.
Speaking about the festival, Nikita shared that “Rakshabandhan is about emotions, not extravagance. For me, the real beauty lies in spending time together, cherishing old memories, and making new ones.” True to her words, the ceremony included a homemade Gujarati thali, laughter over childhood stories, and a heartfelt exchange of blessings.


In a world where festivals often get lost in flashy displays, Nikita’s approach was a gentle reminder that sometimes, the simplest celebrations hold the deepest meaning. Her Rakshabandhan wasn’t just a ritual — it was a moment of grounding, a connection to her culture, and a celebration of love that money can’t buy.
