KAREENA-KARAN'S GR8 BOND:::::On Raksha Bandhan Day, Indiatimes Movies brought together filmmaker Karan Johar and actor Kareena Kapoor to cherish a wonderful moment and relationship. "I miss having siblings," confesses Karan, "I wish I was either the younger of two brothers or then an elder brother to a sister. I would have liked to protect or be protected. Siblings have a great childhood – there is interaction, fun, and then of course you get to claw and paw each other... But that's all part of the growing up process and I missed it totally. But now, my friends are my family." Kareena, on the other hand, isn't an only child. She has the lovely Karisma Kapoor for a sister. But does she miss having a brother? "Yes, maybe sometimes I do, but Karisma fills in every void in my life – she is a brother, a sister, a friend... She is like my right arm!" About rakhi incidents when they were younger, Bebo narrates, "When Lolo and I were kids, we may have tied rakhis to a few boys just for the fun of it, but we grew out of it very quickly. Besides, I'd rather have boys as friends than brothers." Karan takes on from there: "Once I walked into the house with my hand full of rakhis and I was so excited about the fact that I was the only boy from my class who had thirty rakhis while the others had only five or six... Mom tried to explain to me that that wasn't a great thing, but I wouldn't understand. I was happy that everyone wanted to make me their rakhi brother. I used to like the flashy, big, ugly rakhis - with those foils and pinks... all my aesthetics went out of the window," he laughs. "Karan isn't like my brother, he is my brother," insists Kareena, "He is a friend, a guide and someone I can pour my heart out to even at 3:00 a.m. He is a man of honour and strength, and conducts himself with so much dignity. That's what I like about him. When he walks into a room he brings bundles of energy and positivity. That's why he is Karan Johar today. " About her, Johar says, "Yes, I would've loved to have a younger sister like Bebo. She is mad, crack, spontaneous, impulsive, honest and makes me laugh. I don't like normal people who don't have a sense of humour and who are not stupid and funny, the way Bebo is. She totally makes the cut of what I would've liked my younger sister to be." Now for some brotherly and sisterly advice to each other on Raksha Bandhan... "Keep your head on your shoulders always, Bebo! And anything good or anything bad should always be met with the same kind of positive energy," counsels Karan. Bebo doesn't have any advice to give the 'ideal brother'. In fact she says, "Karan, I just want to always be there for you and thank you for all the times you've heard me out. Whenever I am in a cranky or crabby mood, you always listen and give me the right advice. So a big Thank you to you on this special day!" What rakhi present would Kareena like to receive on the auspicious occasion? "I love diamonds, so anything in diamonds would be great," she says promptly, smiling. And to this the very witty Karan replies, "I am a 'gem' of a brother, right? And I'm all yours!"
