Rakhi is that one day when your sibling transforms from your daily enemy to your emotional support system, for about 20 minutes. Whether they’re protective, savage, or just here for the sweets, every sibling has a type. And if you’re lucky (or cursed), yours might be a mix of all five. Let’s see which one you’ve got tied to your emotional trauma.
The Overprotective Bhai
He acts like he doesn’t care, but he’s already stalked your entire friends list. Will interrogate you like a cop just for going out with your girl gang. He’ll drop you off, text “reached?” and warn every guy within a 5 km radius. You roll your eyes, but deep down? He’s your forever bodyguard. He’s annoying, dramatic, and low-key, which is why your standards are so high.
The Emotionally Unavailable One
This sibling shows zero emotion but somehow remembers your birthday wishlist better than you do. No hugs, no “I miss you,” just a random snack delivery when you’ve had a bad day. You’ll never get a speech, but they’ll always be around — quiet, reliable, and weirdly comforting. Their love is not loud, but it shows up — silently, but consistently.
The Sass Queen
They’ve already posted a “Happy Rakhi” Boomerang before you’ve even tied the thread. Will critique your outfit, rearrange the Rakhi thali for aesthetics, and ask for gift receipts — all in the same breath. They’re dramatic, flashy, and probably made you retake 10 pics “because the lighting was off.” But beneath all that sass is someone who will fight the world for you (and do it looking fabulous).
The Mooch
They only show up for the kaju katli and cash. Will tie the Rakhi like it’s a task, demand ₹1000 like it’s their right, and vanish until the next festival with food involved. Somehow, they always “forget” to bring a gift, but remind you to bring theirs. And yet, every year, you still get them something — because mooch or not, they’re your mooch.
The Bestie in Disguise
This one’s your comfort person. You fight over playlists, food, and literally nothing — but also send each other memes that say “this is so us.” They know your mood from one text, roast you better than your friends, and show up every time without being asked. They’re less sibling, more soulmates. Rakhi with them? Laughs, drama, maybe a tear or two — but always love.
So… Which Sibling Type Are You Tying Rakhi To?
Or maybe… which one are you?
Whether it’s the bouncer bhai, the sass queen, or the sentimental ghost, Rakhi is the one day we hit pause on the chaos, and say the things we usually don’t. With a thread. With a gift. With love.
