Sharing a profession with your sibling? A boon or a bane? Celebritie­s talk about being in the same industry as their siblings, and reveal what it takes to be in the same profession. We were siblings before we becbecame a part of this industry.industr Yes, being in the same industryi helps, as we understand­under each other betterbett when it comes to workwo and schedules. We share a very special bond, and t though he is three y years older than me, h he is a friend. I can shares everything with himhi and I hope he does theth same. It is very encouragin­genc and motivating­motiv to have a sibling around you at work. I take after him with regards to many things, especially­especia qualities such as patience and gratitude. I like his choice of people and books, and hence all his friends are my friends too, but not vice versa. It is great to have a sibling who understand­s you and supports you no

matter wwhat. Sandesh is my mentor and I dedicated my first book to him. My brothers Sandeep and Sandesh are my world. Sandip is in the US, so meeting him for Rakshaband­han gets difficult. However, Sandesh and I meet every year on this occasion. This year, too, I will be travelling from Pune to Mumbai to be with him. Ks Kshitij is a celebrity, and I am just s starting out. I have worked in two f films with him, but he never treated me as a brother or a family member. In fact, we have never used each other as a way to g get work done. I am his s sibling at home, but at work, I am a colleague. I like this bal balance of personal and profe profession­al life that we have. It makesmak the process enjoyable.
