On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Amitabh recently took to his Instagram handle to share a collage of Abhishek Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, Agastya Bachchan, and Aaradhya Bachchan, and broke down the cultural importance of the festival. Calling Raksha Bandhan the festival ‘of protection and security’, Amitabh, in his caption, explained that the festival is a ‘pledge’ taken by a brother for his sister ‘to be by her side, to safeguard her from all evil that may erupt and to let her know that no matter what, he shall ever be by her side’. Speaking about how Raksha Bandhan affects the morality of society or ‘samaj’, Amitabh remarked that humans possess centuries-old traditions, which makes them valuable in the essence of behavioural convictions’. Adding to the same, Big B remarked that such ‘convictions can never be betrayed or dissolved, as they are the crafted genius of writings on stone’. Take a look at the post shared by Big B:
