Today is Bhai Dooj, an important event honoring the special relationship between a brother and sister (October 26, 2022). The sisters pray while tying a particular thread on their brothers' wrists for this special occasion, which follows the Diwali celebrations. On the other hand, the brothers assure their sisters of their unwavering devotion and protection and pledge to surprise them with gifts. Throughout the years, many well-known Bollywood movies have eloquently reflected this cherished ritual.
Here are the five actor-actress pairings we would like to see playing siblings on-screen on this auspicious occasion of Bhai Dooj. Take a peek...
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranbir Kapoor
Well, this is a combo on every true Bollywood fan’s wishlist, isn’t it? At least once, we would want to watch real-life cousins portray siblings on television. For the unversed, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranbir Kapoor were initially supposed to play the siblings Ayesha Mehra and Kabir Mehra in Zoya Akhtar’s slice-of-life Dil Dhadakne Do. However, Ranbir Kapoor later left the project, citing date clashes. Kareena, keen to work with her cousin, decided to opt out after Ranveer Singh replaced the Brahmastra actor. Well, we hope they get cast together in a film soon.
Alia Bhatt and Ishaan Khatter
Unquestionably, Alia Bhatt is one of Bollywood's top performers right now. On the other side, Ishaan Khatter is a very bright new talent. Although Alia and Ishaan are not in any way related to one another, we believe that if they were to be cast together in a movie, they would make a fantastic sibling combo. Suppose Alia Bhatt and Ishaan Khatter play brother and sister in a crazy, fun comedy movie. In that case, Ishaan Khatter's contagious enthusiasm can be used to precisely counterbalance Alia Bhatt's impressive range as an actor.
Katrina Kaif and Sunny Kaushal
If Katrina Kaif and her brother-in-law, actor Sunny Kaushal, were cast as siblings in a movie together, it would be pretty thrilling. The Tiger 3 actress, who is married to Sunny's older brother Vicky Kaushal, and her brother-in-law have a close relationship, as many of you may know. By leaving humorous comments on each other's social media posts, the couple frequently demonstrates their love for one another. If Katrina Kaif and Sunny Kaushal collaborate on a movie, we believe they can play a pair of very relatable siblings.
Arjun Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor
Arjun Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor playing real-life siblings in a family comedy would be so much fun. The producer Boney Kapoor's eldest son, Arjun, has acknowledged that he is quite protective of Khushi's younger sisters, Anshula, Janhvi, and Khushi. On the other hand, Janhvi has consistently expressed how having Arjun and Anshula in their lives provided much-needed stability. If they are placed together as a devoted brother-sister team in a movie, we believe their genuine closeness will translate into remarkable comradery.
Soha Ali Khan and Saif Ali Khan
Saif Ali Khan is one of the most adaptable, talented, and courageous performers working in Bollywood today. On the other side, his younger sister Soha Ali Khan is one of the most underappreciated performers in the business. Surprisingly, despite spending an extended period working in the film business, the real-life twins never appeared together on screen. We would want to see Soha Ali Khan play Saif Ali Khan's sister in a movie, especially a comedy entertainer, even though she is now taking a hiatus from the industry.
