The festival of Raksha Bandhan brings to the fore myriad emotions. It signifies the ever-lasting love between siblings and is an occasion that strengthens their bandhan, literally translating into ‘knot of protection. With different themes and ideas that have been central to this festival, brands too, showcase the various aspects and emotions people go through in their campaigns every year.
And this year too has seen many heart-warming campaigns that bring alive the love, mischief, and eternal bonding between siblings. Let’s look at some of them.

A sister comes home for her first rakhi celebration post-marriage. Her brother gives her the most beautiful gift- their childhood memories compiled in a truck. This is followed by a touching message of how siblings are the first roommates we ever have.
2. Ferns N Petals
Titled FNP Sneh, the ad features the gorgeous Adah Sharma ordering a rakhi gift for her auto driver. He is the one, who ensures she is dropped safely home every night post-work. After all, every brother would ensure the same for his sister, right?
