10 Bollywood brothers we love

Today's a big day for these famous and filmy brothers. Happy Rakhi!

The Khans: Salman, Arbaaz, Sohail
Stepsisters Alvira and Arpita Khan have three stalwart brothers to take care of them. The Khandaan is famously close knit. Alvira and three brothers share the same mother, Salim's Khan's first wife Salma. Arpita was adopted by Salim Khan and second wife Helen. But she's the baby of the family and, as such, pampered by everybody else.

Saif Ali Khan
The Nawab is the eldest of Sharmila Tagore and Tiger Pataudi's three children. His two sisters are Saba, a jewellery designer, and Soha, an actress.

Ranbir Kapoor
Generation four of Bollywood's first family is making the Kapoor name proud. Ranbir's real sister is jewellery designer Riddhima. His famous cousins are Karisma and Kareena, daughters of his uncle Randhir Kapoor. And we hear that Ranbir and Kareena may soon play siblings for reel, in Zoya Akhtar's next film.

Farhan Akhtar
Javed Akhtar's multi-talented son has a fruitful professional relationship with his sister Zoya. He starred in both the films she's directed so far - Luck By Chance and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. She helped produce and direct Farhan's Dil Chahta Hai and Lakshya.

Abhishek Bachchan
Junior B shares a strong bond with his sister Shweta who is married to businessman Nikhil Nanda and lives in Delhi with her husband and two children.

Tusshar Kapoor
No sibling rivalry between Jeetendra's children. Tusshar and Ekta have also turned their relationship into a professional one, like Farhan and Zoya. They's delivered a string of hits together, the latest of which is the just released Kya Super Kool Hain Hum.

Sanjay Dutt
Munna Bhai has two sisters, of whom he is famously protective. Priya Dutt Roncon is a Congress MP, following in the footsteps of her father Sunil Dutt. Namrata Kumar is married to former actor Kumar Gaurav and has two daughters.

Sajid Khan
Former funny man and now director Sajid Khan might be one half of Bollywood's most entertaining pair of siblings. The other is, of course, choreographer turned director turned actress Farah Khan. Between them, the outspoken brother and sister keep the one liners coming.

Ashmit Patel
OK, perhaps he's not all that famous. But Ashmit Patel is everything a brother should be to Ameesha. What are they upto now? Ashmit will soon be hosting a reality show on TV called Superstuds, and Ameesha has ventured into production.

Sunny and Bobby Deol
Despite the friction that was rumoured to have risen from Dharmendra's unorthodox private life, his sons by first wife Prakash have always been properly brotherly to his daughters from second wife Hema – Esha and Ahaana. Or that's what we thought till Esha got married on June 29. Neither Sunny nor Bobby showed up at single wedding function.
