This year, Rakshabandhan is special for Pooja Hegde because she finally gets to celebrate the big day with her cousins, to whom she couriers rakhi every year. While she admits she’ll miss spending time with her elder brother, Rishabh, an orthopaedic surgeon, the actress says he’ll be cool with it because he knows she loves him to the moon and back. Pooja, who’s holidaying in the US, talks to us about her equation with her anna, how he is super protective of her and why some things in their relationship will never change…
You are on a month-long vacation with your family. Do you have special plans for Rakshabandhan today?
I took my parents on a holiday to London, but I moved to New York from there, where I’m vacationing with my sisters. So, I am not really going to be with my brother on Rakshabandhan. So, I’ve sent a rakhi to him in London. But what’s got me excited is that I am meeting my cousins in America and I’ll be spending the special day with them. I’ve always couriered them rakhis and this time, it’s great that I’m physically present with them on the occasion.
TAKE FIVE WITH POOJA
The best advice your brother has given you?
He really doesn't say it, but I see him make that extra effort to keep in touch with family, and that is really nice.
One piece of advice you wouldn't go to him for?
Relationship advice! We have this very elder brother-younger sister kind of relationship and so, we don't really talk about boyfriends or girlfriends.
