National Brothers Day, celebrated every year on May 24th, honours the special bond we share with our brothers — the silent protectors, mischievous companions, and lifelong friends who walk with us through every phase of life. From childhood games and friendly squabbles to life’s deeper lessons and triumphs, brothers often leave a mark that words can’t capture. Whether by blood or by choice, these relationships grow with us, becoming pillars of strength and shared nostalgia. On this heartfelt occasion, some of Zee TV’s most beloved actress Priya Thakur from Vasudha expresses her gratitude, and celebrates the unspoken love that defines this sacred bond.
Priya Thakur, who essays the role of Vasudha in Vasudha shared, “For me, the bond with my brother is one of the purest and most grounding relationships in life. Growing up, I was his built-in protector, late-night storyteller, and he was the person who could read my silence better than anyone. We fought like all siblings do, over the TV remote or who got the last piece of chocolate. But behind every argument was a deep-rooted love and unshakable loyalty."
Recalling her favourite memory with her brother, she said, "There’s one memory I cherish the most - I had a rough day at school once and came home, and I remember sitting in my room and being overwhelmed, and he just walked in, no questions asked and handed me a chocolate bar. He said, ‘You’re more than just your worst day, and you shine in ways that can’t be measured.’ That moment stayed with me forever. Even today, in the middle of my chaotic workdays, he’s the one call that brings me back to myself. This Brother's Day, I plan to send him a surprise with passes for a weekend getaway so he can finally take a well-deserved break.”
