Khan Sir's grand Raksha Bandhan: YouTube sensation struggles to lift his hand as 15,000 'sisters' tie rakhis to him

In Patna, this year’s Raksha Bandhan turned into a massive cultural celebration led by renowned educator and YouTuber Khan Sir, drawing participation from thousands of his students. According to PTI, more than 15,000 female students joined the occasion, and images and videos from the event quickly gained widespread attention on social media, showcasing the scale and spirit of the gathering.

Festivities at SK Memorial Hall

As reported by multiple media outlets, the celebration took place at SK Memorial Hall, attracting students from across the country. For many young women who live away from their families, this gathering provided a chance to celebrate the festival with someone they consider like a brother. They tied rakhis to Khan Sir, who has earned their affection not only as a teacher but also as a trusted figure in their lives.

Khan Sir’s Message on Culture and Bonds

PTI reported that Khan Sir expressed deep appreciation for the gesture, describing it as a blessing to have his students tie rakhis for him. He emphasized the importance of safeguarding India’s cultural heritage, explaining that Raksha Bandhan is more than just a ritual—it symbolizes the affection and protective bond between brothers and sisters.

In a clip shared on X by @nedricknews, Khan Sir humorously remarked about his inability to lift his arm due to the sheer number of rakhis tied to him—an estimated 15,000 in total. While extending festive wishes, he reflected on how fortunate he felt to receive such affection in the current era and playfully wondered how he would manage to stand up afterward. As part of fulfilling his role as a “brother,” he announced a gift for his “sisters”—a free crash course worth ₹99.
