“Rakhi is always very special as I am very close to my brother. He’s one of my best friends. I remember one particular year when I was feeling very low . I wanted to do something as a sign of letting go, so I got a dancing ballerina tattooed on my back. My brother encouraged me to get it and even paid for it. That was a special Rakhi gift and will always remain a part of me. It’s a constant reminder of my inner strength and a fighter spirit. And every time I look at it I think of Akshay bhaiya and feel truly grateful because in a way he’s a part of that inner strength in me that reflects in my tattoo,” she says.
