Actor Sargun Mehta says that she loves the gifts her younger brother, Pulkit, gives her on Rakhi, and tries to use them as much as she can. "Last year, my brother gifted me beautiful diamond and sapphire earrings. I had worn them when I went to the Bigg Boss panel discussion.

While her elder brother Shyam has gifted her many things over the years, actor Aishwarya Sakhuja says that the gift she got on Rakhi last year was the best. "It is a gold ring shaped like a serpent. He told me since I was going to marry (Rohit) Nag, this ring would suit me. It was funny," she says.
