Aishwarya Rai-Randeep Hooda – Sarbjit
The 2016 biographical drama film starring Aishwarya Rai and Randeep Hooda as siblings is based on the story of Sarabjit Singh – an Indian man who was sentenced to death by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 1991 and spent 22 years in prison for alleged terrorism and spying. The film focuses on the trials and tribulations his sister Dalbir Kaur went through to prove his innocence. The powerful bond Sarabjit and Dwalbir shared is evident as Kaur is still proving his innocence even though he tragically passed away in 2013.
Hrithik Roshan-Kanika Tiwari – Agneepath
Agneeppath showcases the unparalleled love Hrithik Roshan’s Vijay Dheenanath Chauhan had for his sister Shiksha, played by Kanika Tiwari. Even though they are separated due to life circumstances, he still manages to show his love for his baby sister by running NGOs in her name and meeting her on the sly owing to their mother’s disapproval. Vijay is a brother who’d turn the world upside down to bring a smile to his sister’s face and the above video is proof that he will turn the city bloody to keep her safe.
Ranveer Singh-Priyanka Chopra- Dil Dhakne Do
Dil Dhadakne Do is centred on the ups and downs an affluent family is going through while putting on a front to keep people from seeing the truth. Amongst the many problems shown in the film, the love shared between siblings Kabir and Ayesha (Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra) is the bond all siblings crave. It does not show sacred brother-sisterly moments, but it does highlight those eye-opening talks that you have once in a while with your brother or sister. They prove that when the going gets tough, it’s your siblings who always have your back, always.
