Bollywood has over and over again made it a point to bring out the best of the sibling bond on the silver screen. From 'tying the rakhi' to 'izzat bachao' scenes, we movie lovers have seen it all in Indian films. On that note, let us take a look at 11 most memorable brother-sister duos from Bollywood that will make you hug your sibling now. The two, at their naughtiestbest, were so convincing that nobody remembers the other romantic angles in the film.

Dev Anand - Zeenat Aman (Hare Rama Hare Krishna) Bollywood's most romantic pairs, Dev and Zeenar, were once seen playing the role of brother and sister. Their song “Phoolon ka taaron ka…” became the most popular song of Raksha Bandhan day.

Shah Rukh Khan - Aishwarya Rai (Josh) Remember the song Apun Bola featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwariya Rai where they played siblings, in fact twins? Later, these two actors were seen romancing in Devdas and Mohabbatein.

Arbaaz Khan – Kajol (Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya) Khan played the overprotective brother. Remember the brooding 'bade bhaiya'? His love and care for his behna (sister Kajol in the film) was the USP of the movie.

Juhi Chawla – Sanjay Suri (My Brother…Nikhil) The critically acclaimed Bollywood film had Sanjay Suri playing a real-life inspired character of India’s first AIDS activist. Whereas Juhi Chawla plays the role of a loving sister, as she encourages her brother to get on with life after being banished by society because he has AIDS.

Kareena Kapoor – Tusshar Kapoor (Golmaal Returns) The two, who were romantically paired in Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, returned only as siblings. In the movie, Kareena was named Ekta exactly like Tusshar's real-life sister, Ekta Kapoor.

Arjun Rampal – Deepika Padukone (Housefull) They are the most good-looking brother-sister pair we have seen in Bollywood lately. Arjun played a perfect protective brother who knows his sister (Deepika) is too beautiful for anyone to fall for her.

Salman Khan – Tabu (Jai Ho) In the movie, Salman Khan and Tabu gave a powerhouse performance. Both carried off the roles convincingly.

Farhan Akhtar – Divya Dutta (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag) These two ace actors came together as brother and sister and gave some memorable performance. One of the scenes where Milkha Singh (Farhan Akhtar) gifts a pair of gold earrings to his didi (Divya Dutta ) was so real and believable that anyone can instantly connect to it.

Ranveer Singh – Priyanka Chopra (Dil Dhadakne Do) The movie shows siblings from an affluent family that goes about living their own lives. Kabir (Ranveer Singh ) and Ayesha (Priyanka Chopra) may not overtly show their affection in the movie, but back each other like every normal sibling does.

Prateik-Genelia D’Souza (Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na) The characters of Amit (Prateik) and Aditi (Genelia) share a hot and cold equation, but they also complete each other in more ways than one. The movie marked the debut of both Prateik and Genelia.

Hrithik Roshan and Kanika Tiwari (Agneepath) The love that Vijay Dheenanath Chauhan has for his sister is unparalleled. Vijay is undoubtedly the big-brother who’d turn the world upside down to bring a smile on his sister’s face.
