Zanai Bhosle Ties Rakhi to Mohammed Siraj, Silences Dating Rumours

On August 8, 2025, the festival of Raksha Bandhan brought a special moment for both Bollywood and cricket fans. Zanai Bhosle, granddaughter of legendary singer Asha Bhosle and a budding singer-actress, tied a rakhi on Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj’s wrist, honouring him as her brother. While Raksha Bandhan is traditionally a celebration of the sibling bond, this moment gained special attention on social media and in the press.

Zanai posted a video of the occasion on her official social media account, where she is seen smiling as she ties the rakhi on Siraj’s hand. In the background, a soulful song by popular singer Arijit Singh played, adding an emotional touch. The video went viral within hours, attracting warm wishes from fans and even a ‘like’ from Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, showing that the cricket fraternity too appreciated the gesture.

Before this, there had been intense speculation about Zanai and Siraj’s relationship. Photos from Zanai’s 23rd birthday, showing the two together in seemingly close moments, had sparked rumours of a romance. However, this public Raksha Bandhan celebration sent a clear message their relationship is purely that of a brother and sister, nothing more.

Zanai Bhosle, who grew up surrounded by music and art as part of the Asha Bhosle family legacy, is making her mark as both a singer and soon-to-be Bollywood actress. Siraj, on the other hand, is one of India’s most reliable fast bowlers with international recognition. The bond between these two individuals from such different worlds has inspired many.

The Raksha Bandhan celebration was simple but deeply meaningful. It wasn’t just a family occasion  it also helped dispel public misunderstandings and speculation. Many on social media praised the move, noting that in a time when relationships are often misinterpreted, such clarity sends a positive message.

 Zanai Bhosle and Mohammed Siraj’s Raksha Bandhan moment stands as more than just a festive ritual it’s a shining example of respect, affection, and the purity of sibling-like bonds, proving that even in the spotlight, relationships can remain genuine and unshakable.
