Sister Arpita Khan Sharma shared a candid video on social media capturing the traditional rituals, where she is seen applying a tilak on Salman’s forehead, performing his aarti, and tying the sacred rakhi thread around his wrist before sharing a warm hug.
The Festivities at Alvira Agnihotri's Residence
The Khan family gathered at the residence of Salman's elder sister, fashion designer and producer Alvira Khan Agnihotri, for the intimate festive celebration:
The Rituals on Video: In the footage shared by Arpita on Instagram Stories, Salman is seen patiently standing as Arpita completes the aarti and ties the rakhi, followed by feeding him sweets and embracing him in a warm hug.
Flaunting Rakhis to Paparazzi: Stepping out of Alvira’s residence, Salman posed for the waiting photographers sporting a casual maroon T-shirt, blue denim jeans, and a cowboy hat. With a bright red tilak on his forehead, he happily obliged requests to show off the multiple rakhis tied around his wrist.
Family in Attendance: Salman’s nephew Nirvaan Khan (son of Sohail Khan) was also spotted by the paparazzi joining the family gathering.
Khan Family's Enduring Festive Tradition
The Khan household has long been celebrated for embracing festivals across cultures—from grand Eid and Ganpati celebrations to intimate family Raksha Bandhan rituals. Salman has consistently maintained a very close, protective bond with both of his sisters, Arpita and Alvira.
Trade Verdict:
Salman Khan's relaxed festive outing with sisters Arpita and Alvira offers fans a heartwarming glimpse of the superstar's personal life. Taking time off the big screen to celebrate age-old sibling traditions, the moment highlights the strong family ties that anchor the actor outside of the limelight.
