Raksha Bandhan is just around the corner, scheduled for August 19 this year. This cherished festival celebrates the unique bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters across the nation tie a rakhi, a symbol of protection, on their brothers’ wrists, while brothers reciprocate with gifts. A video that’s recently gone viral on the internet offers a humorous twist on this tradition, showcasing a woman subtly hinting to her brother about the ideal Raksha Bandhan gift. The outcome has left viewers in stitches.
The viral clip, shared on Instagram, features a woman casually dropping hints to her brother about the perfect gift for Raksha Bandhan. The video begins with the woman, phone in hand, entering a room where her brother is engrossed in his laptop. She asks him to check the price of a Michael Kors bag, which turns out to be Rs 16,000. Feigning disappointment, she tells her friend on the phone that she can’t afford it and will have to buy something from Bandra Linking Road instead.
Unbeknownst to her, her brother overhears the conversation and double-checks the bag’s price, while she sneaks a satisfied smirk, confident that her hint was well-delivered. On Raksha Bandhan, she ties the rakhi on her brother’s wrist, eagerly anticipating her gift. However, instead of the bag, he surprises her with a chocolate. A flashback reveals the brother’s thoughts: “16,000 for a bag? With this much money, we boys can do a whole Goa trip.”
He then playfully asks his sister to share the chocolate, prompting a light-hearted slap from her. The caption accompanying the video reads, “Tag your lovely sister.”
