Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, who will soon be seen starring in the Anand L Rai directorial 'Raksha Bandhan', recently during the film's promotions delved into the bond he shares with his sister Alka Bhatia. The plot of 'Raksha Bandhan' explores the love, bonding and attachment between brother and sisters. Akshay during the film's press conference in Gujarat had few words to say when asked by the media about him and Alka.
"My bond with my sister has been that of love. My sister is not at all scared of me and she's a very cool-natured person who does not fight at all. There has never been any quarrel among us, even if my temper rises sometimes, she still remains calm," said Akshay. He added, "Since childhood, my parents have taught me that my sister is not just my sister but a Devi (deity). So, for me, she is a Devi."
