Salman Khan’s younger sister, Arpita Khan Sharma, gave fans a glimpse of their Raksha Bandhan celebrations by sharing a video from the family gathering on Instagram. In the clip, Arpita is seen performing aarti and tying a rakhi to Salman, marking the festival with her brother.
While the sibling moment caught fans’ attention, it was the backdrop that became the biggest talking point online. The siblings were seen standing in front of a large mural of Jesus Christ, featuring Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting The Last Supper. The unusual combination of the traditional Raksha Bandhan ritual and the Christian artwork prompted several social media users to react.

For the occasion, Arpita looked elegant in a patterned white kurta paired with a matching dupatta. She kept her look simple, leaving her hair open and allowing it to frame her face naturally. Salman, meanwhile, opted for a relaxed and casual look. The actor was dressed in an orange T-shirt and jeans and completed his outfit with a black cowboy hat. His laid-back appearance complemented the informal family gathering.
Salman and Arpita visited their sister Alvira Agnihotri’s residence to celebrate Raksha Bandhan. The large Jesus Christ mural at the house, featuring The Last Supper, became an unexpected highlight of the celebrations after Arpita shared the video online.
On the work front
Meanwhile, Salman has several projects lined up on the professional front. The actor is awaiting the release of his upcoming film Maatrubhumi, which was previously titled Battle of Galwan. The film also stars Chitrangada Singh. The makers have not yet announced an official release date. In addition to his film commitments, Salman is set to return as the host of Bigg Boss for its upcoming season. The new season of the popular reality show is scheduled to premiere in September, with Salman once again taking charge of the hosting duties.
