Happy Rakshabandhan! Now’s the time to let petty sibling rivalry aside and embrace that wholesome bro-sis bond!
On today’s special occasion, we have a fun if slightly awkward listicle that’ll make you go…. Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai?
Now, it’s a small world, so one way or the other these Bollywood celebs have ended up reuniting with the same co-stars…. Sometimes they be tying the knot onscreen and sometimes they be tying the rakhi instead! Tell us if you think these celebs are better off as a romantic pair or a brother-sister duo.
5 Times Bollywood Celebs Played Both Lovers & Siblings On-Screen:
1) Ranveer Singh & Priyanka Chopra
Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra rocked as the sibling duo Kabir Mehra-Ayesha Mehra in the 2015 comedy-drama film Dil Dhadkne Do.
In the same year, they later went on to play husband-wife (Bajirao-Kashibai) in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani. Siblings or romantic dynamic – which did you prefer for them?
2) Aishwarya Rai & Shah Rukh Khan
Be it Devdas or Mohabbatein – Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai truly do make for a gorgeous but angsty pair onscreen, don’t they?
But in Josh, their very first film together – they had played twins! SRK had jested – “It’s a shame that in our first film, Aishwarya, the most beautiful woman in the world, in the universe and even beyond on all the planets, was my sister.”
3) Salman Khan & Daisy Shah
Salman Khan helped launch Daisy Shah’s Bollywood career -she’d played the female lead in his Jai Ho movie.
However, the duo reunited for Race 3 as siblings Sanjana and Sikander Singh.
4) Deepika Padukone & John Abraham
In 2011, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham had paired up for the romantic comedy Desi Boyz.
But in 2013, Deepika went on to play the step-sister Aleena Malik to John’s Armaan Malik character in Race 2. DP and John will soon be reuniting in SRK’s actioner movie Pathan now.
5) Asin Thottumkal and Abhishek Bachchan
Asin and Abhishek Bachchan played sibling duo Sania and Abbas Ali in the 2012 action comedy Bol Bachchan.
In 2015, Junior B and Asin reunited but this time as love interests for the rom-com All Is Well!
