These 9 Heartwarming Indian Ads Celebrate the Brother-Sister Bond Beautifully

As different as chalk and cheese or as alike as two peas in a pod – brother and sister relationships can extend to both extremes. From protective to possessive, to irritating and often plain silly, siblings can be exasperating at times but they are also the first ones to rally around each other at times of need. Perhaps no other country in the world celebrates this beautiful relationship quite like Indians do – with the endearing and unique act of tying a thread that symbolises the bond between brother and sister – Raksha Bandhan.

As you celebrate the occasion of Raksha Bandhan with silken threads, sweets and savouries, make time to watch these 9 heartwarming advertisements that capture the spirit of this endearing festival:
