Sarwat Gilani celebrates Raksha Bandhan with her cook
The actor has shared videos that show her celebrating Raksha Bandhan with her cook Ghanasih. Sarwat puts kumkum on Ghanish’s forehead and ties a rakhi (thread of love) around his wrist.
Raksha Bandhan is a Hindu festival that is celebrated to strengthen the bond between brothers and sisters.
The word Raksha means protection and Bandhan describes tying rakhi at the wrists of brothers. Sisters not only express their love and affection but show pride that their brothers will protect them.
The brothers renew their pledges and promise good deeds. Married women visit the homes of their brothers during the day to carry out the custom. They receive small gifts.
The sisters collect rakhi, kumkum, diya, incense sticks, and sweets for the ritual.
