(X/@Nithin0dha)Kamath shared a post on X about the tradition, saying he does not quite understand why siblings are expected to exchange gifts. His wife Seema, however, seems to have no such confusion. This year, she is gifting her brother something a little different, stocks.“I still don’t understand the concept of a return gift on Rakhi.
