Celebrating the special occasion of Raksha Bandhan on August 28, 2026, Arpita Khan Sharma shared a glimpse of tying a Rakhi to Salman Khan. The visuals of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s Raksha Bandhan celebration with sister Alvira Agnihotri and Arpita Khan Sharma surfaced and went viral on the internet on August 29. However, Arpita tying rakhi to her brother in front of a picture of Jesus at his other sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri’s residence has got netizens applauding Salman’s respect for all religions and secularism.
A user on the internet wrote, “This is the most secular video on internet today A Muslim girl (Arpita Khan) married to a Hindu man (Aayush Sharma) ties a rakhi to her Muslim brother (Salman Khan) while a picture of Jesus is in the background.”
The second commented, “When people say Salman Khan represent the spirit of India, this is what they mean A Muslim family, his sister married to a Hindu Brahmin, celebrating Raksha Bandhan with Jesus in the background This is India, Gandhi ke sapno ka Bharat.”
The third said, “Actor Salman Khan celebrated Raksha Bandhan today, with a rakhi tied around his wrist. Salman Khan is perhaps the only Muslim actor in Bollywood who celebrates Hindu festivals, whether it is Raksha Bandhan, Diwali or Ganesh Chaturthi. The other Muslim actors don’t even pretend to be secular and seem to have no interest in celebrating Hindu festivals. Is Salman Khan genuinely secular, or is it all just for show?”
“Salman Khan Showing Off His Rakhi On the Occasion Of Rakshabandhan! The Only Bollywood Superstar Who Celebrates Every Festival, Bhai For A Reason,” commented the fourth.
Salman Khan has several high-profile films in production, pre-production, and active discussion, including Maatrubhumi, Monster, The Bull, and others.
