Akshay Kumar, sister Alka’s Rakshabandhan video is empowering, adorable

On Rakhi, Akshay Kumar and sister Alka had a heartfelt message that goes against what Rakshabandhan stands for -- brothers protecting sisters.

Akshay Kumar and sister Alka Hiranandani make one helluva brother-sister duo. Every Rakshabandhan, they share videos or photos which show that they share a great camaraderie and make for a fun watch. But on Rakhi 2017, they chose a different message and it is of empowerment.

Akshay Kumar and sister Alka bring a heartfelt message on Rakhi.

Alka shared a video, which had Akshay in a guest appearance. In the video, Alka said she is a happy-go-lucky person who gets angry only at her brother Akshay, whom she fondly calls Raju. Remembering how her father would always tell her to take Akshay along when she would be out late or attending a party, she says the Bollywood star would always refuse to accompany her.

She also goes on to talk about how Akshay has become a father figure for her since their dad’s death 17 years ago but his message has not changed. That is when we see Akshay barging into the video and showering his sister with kisses.
