Bollywood beauties like Mallika Sherawat and Preity Zinta wished Happy Rakshabandhan to their fans, while filmmakers like Onir and Ken Ghosh hope the values of the festival get drilled into individuals who mistreat girls.

The celebrities took to Twitter Thursday to share their wishes at the ocassion. Here is what they'd to say:

Raveena Tandon: Wishing all of you, in this auspicious day of Rakshabandhan. Love peace and togetherness, the blood bond that are supposed to remain thicker than money, property, insecurities and jealousies. Wishing all the brothers and sisters, love and happiness. Sonam Kapoor: Happy Rakhi to my wonderful brothers... Wish I USED TO BE in Mumbai to get my Kharchie (token money)!

Shabana Azmi: India's syncretic cultures fascinate me. Tied rakhi to my brother and am keeping roza. Am sentimental about Rakhi and cannot watch for Eid.

Ken Ghosh: I AM HOPING the values of Rakshabandhan are drilled into molesters of ladies (by utilizing an electrical drill to their foreheads).

Onir: Here's hoping on Rakshabandhan day to all of the amazing sisters on the earth that their brothers discover ways to respect women and treat them as equals. Here's hoping on Rakshabandhan day, an international where women are treated with dignity, equality and respect.

Preity Zinta: I'd love to wish all of you an excessively Happy Rakhi! We're really lucky in India to have a special occasion devoted to our brothers.

Mallika Sherawat: Happy Rakshabandhan, wish my brother Vikram was with me today.

Celina Jaitly: I still remember my first actual Rakshabandhan. My brother ate the rakhi I tied and that i cried because he didn't share it with me. Happy rakhi.

Tusshar Kapoor: Happy Rakshabandhan to all! Rakhi baandhne se zyada nibhana zaroori hai (Respecting the bond is more important than tying a Rakhi)! Bipasha Basu tweeted - "Celebrating the gorgeous Bond between a sister n brother:) Happy Rakshabandhan to All!"

Starlet Poonam Pandey, known for posting racy pictures of herself, this time decided to do something different. She posted an image of her and a man, who we believe is her brother. Accompanying this was a tweet - "Happy Raksha Bandhan to my bro, thanks for Always on the lookout for me, Happy Raksha Bandhan to everyone celebrating."

Ayesha Takia wished her "big bhaiya" Nagesh Kukunoor and in addition posted an image of her tying him a rakhi. Their bond dates back to the time when Kukunoor directed Takia within the 2006 film Dor. Her performance on this film won her a large number of praise.

Choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan said that she had bought a Spiderman rakhi for brother Sajid and hoped that he wears it. We are hoping so too.

The final word however came from Big B, who posted - "The sister-brother relationship don't need to necessarily be genetic.. i've none which might be genetic, but millions tie the 'rakhi!"
