Actor-dancer Malaika Arora marked Raksha Bandhan by thanking her actor sister Amrita Arora for playing multiple roles in her life including that of a brother.
The 'Chhaiya Chhaiya' star took to Instagram to share a stunning picture of herself with her sister and complimented it with a long emotional note on sisterhood.
She began the note by defining her bond with Amrita with the classic line "tum hi ho bandhu, sakha tum hi" and then went on to express her feelings for her "baby sister."
"'Tum hi ho bandhu, sakha tum hi'. It's not just a prayer, it's not just a song...it's what defines our boundless relation. You are not just my baby sister...u are my best friend when I need one, an elder sister when I feel like being a child again, a sounding board when I feel like venting and a brother so I never miss having one," she wrote.
"We are everything to each other and words fall short to describe our eternal bond. Happy Rakshabandhan to you! Here's to the multiple roles you play in my life...a sister, a brother, a friend, and many more," she added
The 46-year-old actor then went on to explain the bond of sisterhood that the two star sisters enjoy as she wrote, "Whether it's the sisterhood of undying support or bro code to protect eachother fiercely...we have it all."
She ended the note by thanking Amrita for playing multiple roles in her life including that of a sister, a brother, a friend, and many more.
"The best of both worlds in one package, that's how I'd like to describe you. It can be the entire world against us and I'll still be confident of winning with you by my side," Malaika said.
"You are a sister who always has my back and a brother who'll protect me at any cost. This Rakshabandhan I'd like to thank you for playing multiple roles in my life- a sister, a brother, a friend and many more," she added.
