The star siblings you won't find on TV

We're in the Raksha Bandhan mood, and busy celebrating our brothers. And our film stars are doing the same.

We decided to celebrate the occasion with pictures of the lesser-known siblings of our Bollywood stars. Take a look:

Salman Khan and Alvira Khan

Now we all know that Salman Khan, for all his brashness, is a real softie at heart. He loves kids and dotes on his family.

What would it be like, we imagine, to be his sister? Alvira and Arpita Khan know the answer to that. Sisters to the three brawny Khans, including Arbaaz and Sohail, it must be quite a blessed life, considering the siblings seem to just adore each other.

Shah Rukh Khan and Shehnaz

Shah Rukh is just as famously and fiercely protective of his family. He's often been heard saying in interviews that his family is his biggest strength.

Pictured here is his elder and only sister Shehnaz, who doesn't venture out much of their house.

Priyanka Chopra and Siddharth

Priyanka Chopra just can't help but feel proud of his kid brother, who's seven years younger than her. The actress flew all the way to Switzerland to be at Siddharth's graduation ceremony.

The actress also tweeted about her trip and was visibly in great spirits in her brother's company.

Mallika Sherawat and Vikram

The sexy Mallika Sherawat, as we all know by now, had to face severe objection and criticism when she made her career choice known to her family. Amidst all the drama and threats, it was only her mother and kid brother who stood by her.

And Mallika is still grateful for that. She's often heard saying that her brother is her biggest support system.

Hrithik Roshan and Sunaina

The hunky Hrithik Roshan is quite the doting brother. His elder sister Sunaina may not be as camera-loving as him but the pair are quite close to each other.

Aamir Khan and Nuzhat

Mr Perfectionist lets his actions speak louder than words. And we know because we've seen him launch his dear sister Nuzhat's son, Imran Khan, in the movies with the fervour of a father.

It speaks great lengths about the bond that the two of them share.

Sonakshi Sinha and Luv-Kush

Dabangg hottie Sonakshi Sinha has twin brothers for company at home. Luv did not enjoy his sister's success when his debut film Sadiyaan released in 2010. Twin Kush has not faced the camera yet.

Ameesha Patel and Ashmit

While both of them forayed in films together, Ameesha has had a slightly better career graph than her younger brother.

This duo has had very public disputes and weren't on talking terms for quite a while but have made up now and seem to be closer than ever before.

Eesha Koppikhar and Aarush

Khallas girl Eesha Koppikhar has a younger brother and the bonhomie between the duo is evident from this picture.

Juhi Babbar and Arya

Yesteryear actor Raj Babbar's kids -- Juhi and Arya -- have carved their own acting paths over the years.

While Arya is trying to gain a foothold in films, sister Juhi is an established theatre-person and manages a theatre company with thespian mom Nadira.

Rani Mukerji and Raja

Rani loves her brother and his family to death. In the early days of her career, we saw her wear her brother's creations a lot.
And now she just can't get enough of her neice, we hear.

Akshay Kumar and Alka

Akshay Kumar knows how to keep his girls happy. Be it wifey Twinkle Khanna or sister Alka, who is often pampered and showered with gifts by the actor.
