Ranveer is very fond of his elder sister and shares many fond memories of their childhood with her. He once recollected in an interview about their celebrating Raksha Bandhan, each year in their prayer room. According to him, Ritika was always careful about the choice of rakhi for him; she would choose one that looked good on him and whose colours didn’t bleed as Ranveer would wear the rakhi till it wore off. She would also choose the chocolates kept In the Rakhi thali; in fact, Ranveer credits his sister for his getting a sweet tooth as she would buy him chocolates almost everyday when they were young. Ranveer, in turn, is particular about touching his elder sister’s feet after she ties him the rakhi, even though it embarrasses her.
