We ask an expert to explain to us why this bond is important and so special!

'The bond between an elder brother and younger sister is one of the strongest and lasting bonds within the family unit. By its nature, the elder brother and younger sister relationship is mutual, protective and self-nurturing. Even if the overt behavior is often that of making fun and being critical of the other person; usually there is an implicit sense of a need to watch out for each other's interests,' explained Dr Kedar Tilwe, Consultant Psychiatrist and Sexologist, Department of Mental Health and Behavioural Sciences, Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi.

Given that the bond is between two different genders, it helps in understanding and accepting differences. You also get a friend, a critic, a safe harbor and well-wisher for life. 'This bond is very important as it teaches a person to respect and adjust to the opposite gender,' added Dr Tilwe.
