JAANE TU..YA JAANE NA (2008)Though the movie is remembered for the debut of Imran Khan; one thing that most people missed is the brother and sister bond shared between characters played by Genelia D’souza and Prateik Babbar.

JOSH (2000)Two of Bollywood’s biggest actors - Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai played the adorable fraternal twins in this 2000 superhit movie.

Not before, he gets a taste of his own medicine when he falls in love! Set in Goa, the film casts an unusual impression of the actors (as siblings). |
