Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj marked the festival of Raksha Bandhan in a heartwarming way this year by celebrating with Zanai Bhosle, the granddaughter of legendary singer Asha Bhosle. A video of the two exchanging the traditional rakhi ritual has gone viral, drawing attention for its warmth and simplicity.

In the video, Zanai is seen tying a rakhi on Siraj's wrist, symbolizing the bond of protection and siblinghood. Siraj, known for his composed presence both on and off the field, appears touched by the gesture. He later shared a thank-you message, calling Zanai his “rakhi sister” and expressing his appreciation for the festive moment.

The unexpected celebration between the cricketer and the young musician has sparked curiosity among fans, many of whom praised the genuine display of affection and mutual respect. Neither Siraj nor Zanai have elaborated on the nature of their bond, but the video has prompted a flood of warm responses on social media.

Zanai, who has occasionally shared glimpses of her musical journey and family moments online, has not commented publicly on the video yet. Asha Bhosle has also remained quiet about the gesture, but fans have noted her family’s long-standing ties with Indian public figures across fields.

This Raksha Bandhan moment, captured in a few candid seconds, served as a reminder of the connections that go beyond fame—offering a simple, sincere celebration of a cherished tradition.
