Raksha Bandhan is all about indulging in your favourite sweet delicacies and clicking tons of pictures. But looks like Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has given a savoury spin to the celebration. At least this is what his Rakhi picture indicates. Shikhar Dhawan has shared a picture with his sister, Nancy Rawal, on Instagram Stories to wish her "Happy Rakhi." We could see a plate with rakhi, roli, and some almonds. But what caught our attention was the savoury spread. A platter loaded with delectable paneer tikka, crackers etc was placed on the table.
