Whether it's through virtual rituals, surprise video messages, or sending personalized gifts, you can express love beyond physical distance. Online games, food deliveries, and digital scrapbooks also help recreate sibling bonding. Celebrate the spirit of Rakhi with thoughtful gestures that bring you emotionally closer. Updated:Aug 07, 2025, 12:54 PM IST Raksha Bandhan 1 / 12 In today's fast-paced world, distance doesn't have to dim the joy of festivals—especially when it comes to the sacred bond of Raksha Bandhan. Whether your brother is in another city, country, or even on a different continent, you can still make Raksha Bandhan 2025 special, emotional, and full of warmth. With the help of technology and a little creativity, you can show love, share laughter, and celebrate your bond virtually. Here are some heartfelt ways to do just that. Send a Rakhi and Gift Package in Advance 2 / 12 If your brother is miles away, plan ahead and courier a rakhi along with his favorite goodies. Add a heartfelt letter, a small gift, or traditional sweets. When he receives the package, ask him to open it during a video call so you can share the moment together, virtually tying the rakhi and exchanging blessings. Plan a Surprise Video Call Celebration 3 / 12 Dress up, decorate a small corner of your home, and set up a video call with your brother. You can light a diya, do a small aarti, and even perform the rakhi ceremony virtually. It may not be physical, but the emotional value is just the same—sometimes even more. Send a Personalised Video Message 4 / 12 If time zones or schedules clash, pre-record a video message for your brother. Share memories, tell him how much he means to you, and maybe even include family members. This thoughtful gesture will melt his heart, especially if he's missing home. Play an Online Game Together 5 / 12 Who says virtual has to be boring? Choose a fun multiplayer game—be it Ludo, PUBG, or something nostalgic—and challenge your brother for a sibling showdown. It's a great way to recreate childhood fun and bond over laughter even from afar. Gift Him a Subscription or Digital Service 6 / 12 Instead of physical gifts, surprise him with a digital one—like a Netflix subscription, Audible membership, or Spotify premium. It's practical, personal, and a gift that keeps giving all year round. Organize a Virtual Family Meet-Up 7 / 12 Invite your family and cousins for a surprise virtual get-together. Everyone can share stories, crack jokes, and celebrate Raksha Bandhan together, even if spread across the globe. It makes the day feel festive and connected. Make a Digital Scrapbook or Collage 8 / 12 Collect old photos, texts, voice notes, and turn them into a digital scrapbook or collage. You can use free tools online to design it beautifully and send it via email or message. It's an emotional surprise that's sure to leave him teary-eyed. Write and Post a Heartfelt Social Media Dedication 9 / 12 If your brother is active on social media, surprise him with a heartfelt post—a throwback picture, a poem, or even a reel showcasing your bond. It's a modern way to express emotions publicly and make him feel cherished. Order His Favourite Meal Online 10 / 12 Use online delivery services to send him his favourite food or a Raksha Bandhan-special thali. Whether he's at work or home, it'll be a delightful surprise that makes him feel connected and loved. Promise a Future Plan Together 11 / 12 End your virtual celebration with a promise—whether it's a future vacation, a sibling-only video call every month, or visiting him soon. It adds a hopeful and positive touch to the day, reminding both of you that distance is only temporary. 12 / 12 Distance may separate you physically, but the love between siblings knows no boundaries. Raksha Bandhan 2025 can still be meaningful, emotional, and joyful—even when celebrated virtually. With these gestures, you can make your brother feel close, cared for, and reminded that your bond remains just as strong across the miles.

Salman Khan's Bodyguard Shera's Father Dies At 88, Last Rites Held In Mumbai
Last Updated: Salman Khan's trusted bodyguard, Shera, announced the passing of his father, Sunder Singh Jolly, at age 88. He had been battling cancer. Last rites were held in Mumbai. Salman Khan bodyguard: Salman Khan's longtime bodyguard, Shera, is grieving the loss of his father, Sunder Singh Jolly, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 88 after battling cancer. Shera – whose real name is Gurmeet Singh Jolly – shared the heartbreaking news with fans via his social media handles, along with details of the final rites. 'My father Shri Sunder Singh Jolly has left for heavenly abode today," he wrote in a brief yet emotional note. The funeral procession was scheduled to begin at 4 PM from Shera's residence at 1902, The Park Luxury Residences, Off Lokhandwala Back Road, Oshiwara, Andheri West, Mumbai. Shera, who has been by Salman Khan's side since the mid-90s, is one of the most recognisable celebrity bodyguards in India. After a successful run in bodybuilding competitions during the late 1980s, he joined Salman's team in the early '90s and has been a constant presence ever since – from sets to red carpets. Beyond working with the Bollywood superstar, Shera runs his own private security company, Tiger Security, which has provided protection to multiple celebrities. Notably, his firm handled security for Justin Bieber during the singer's 2017 concert in Mumbai. Recently, Shera appeared in a Swiggy ad themed around Rakshabandhan, showing yet another side to the man best known for protecting one of India's biggest stars. Meanwhile, on the work front, Salman Khan is currently working on a film based on the Galwan Valley clash, titled 'Battle of Galwan". The movie, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, will depict the 2020 confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley. Salman Khan will be portraying Colonel B. Santosh Babu, the officer who led the 16 Bihar Regiment during the clash. The film is expected to begin shooting in Ladakh in early August.
