Like every other festival this year, Raksha Bandhan too will be celebrated under the new normal – for siblings who stay apart, it will be virtual and couriered rakhis, and wishes will be through phone calls or video chats. Zee Theatre's artists have decided to do just that and stand firm with the social isolation orders issued.
In the previous years, Sonali Kulkarni from Zee Theatre's teleplay 'White Lily, Night Rider' celebrated Raksha Bandhan quite traditionally, though uncannily too. For her brother Sandeep who used to be in the US, she couriered a rakhi and spoke at length on the phone and for her other brother Sandesh who is in Mumbai, she often exchanged greetings in the car. "Invariably on Raksha Bandhan day I had a shooting to attend to and my brother was rushing to some work and we used to meet halfway and tie the rakhi. That is how it used to be every year"
