On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar spoke about how the festival is celebrated at her home. She said, "Our parents never told Dewangana and me that Raksha Bandhan was about our brother...protecting us." "They told us that Raksha Bandhan was...about all of us vowing to be beside each other...It was never about gender," she added.
