A short video celebrating Rakhi was recently shared by Bollywood star Salman Khan together with his sister Arpita. The clip, posted on social media platforms, shows the siblings exchanging Rakhi while a large mural of Jesus Christ is visible in the background.
The inclusion of the religious artwork in a festive, sibling‑bonding video prompted a wave of comments that observers described as the most secular response the pair has received to date. Viewers highlighted the juxtaposition of a Hindu festival with a Christian icon, noting the broader cultural blend it represented.
Online reactions ranged from praise for the inclusive visual to curiosity about the choice of backdrop. Media outlets have reported that the secular tone of the commentary underscores a growing acceptance of inter‑faith symbols in popular Indian entertainment content.
The video, while primarily a personal Rakhi greeting, has become a talking point about the evolving interplay of religion and popular culture in India’s digital sphere.
