National Siblings Day is a holiday taking place annually in some states in the U.S, celebrated on April 10. While it's not federally recognized, it gives brothers and sisters all across the country a chance to honor their relationships. We have decided to celebrate siblings across the world who have influenced the American people—whether it's through politics, economy, sport or culture. Lana and Lilly Wachowski As a collective, the Wachowskis have given us iconic movies such as The Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta, Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending. They also created and directed television program Sense8. Through their works on and off the screen, including comic books, the pair have a net worth of $250 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Their Matrix Trilogy is also considered to have heavily influenced the movie industry over the past 20 years. George W. and Jeb Bush One a former president, and the other a former Florida governor, there's no doubt that the Bush brothers have heavily influenced today's politics. When he was president, George W. Bush oversaw the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, wars in Afganistan and Iraq and the biggest recession in recent history. He also brought in the President's Surveillance Program, which allowed the National Security Agency (NSA) to monitor communications of terrorists in and out of the country. Since his presidency came to an end, Bush has kept a relatively low profile. However, in recent years he has commented against far-right violence and for women in politics. Jeb Bush was governor of Florida for eight years and is known for his Florida education reform. This included: introducing a school voucher program, supporting charter schools, implementing the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) and banning using race as a factor in university admissions. Serena and Venus Williams Probably two of the most famous tennis players of all time, Serena and Venus Williams have dominated the courts across the world. Between them, the sisters hold the world record for the most Olympic gold medals won and Serena is worth $180 million on her own, ranking as No. 1 in the tennis rankings by the World Tennis Association (WTA). Outside of the court, the sisters support their fair share of charities. Serena is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, supporting its Schools for Asia campaign aiming to educate Asia's 26 million marginalized children in the countdown to the Millennium Development Goal deadline of 2015. Alongside her sister Venus, she is also a member of the advisory board of the Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative, pushing for equal prize money for women and men in tennis. They have also established The Williams Sisters Fund, which seeks to support various philanthropic efforts. Charles G. and David H. Koch Creators of Americans for Prosperity, the Koch brothers have not only played a controversial role in U.S politics but have also run the multinational chemical manufacturing company, Koch Industries. The company saw a revenue of $110 billion in 2018. Charles and David Koch have two other siblings. David Koch retired in 2018, while Charles Koch remains active in the business. "Consider the stands we take against policies that would indisputably benefit our bottom line, such as a fuel mandate for ethanol," said Jim Hannan, executive vice president and CEO for Koch Enterprises in November 2018. "We are one of the top producers of ethanol in the country, but that does not matter when such a policy would increase fuel prices for American families and hurt our long-term shared economic future." This article was updated to correct the amount of revenue generated by Koch Industries in 2018.<doc-sep>Today is National Siblings Day, a time to celebrate the brothers and sisters who stick by us, grow up with us and – let’s admit it – sometimes drive us a little bit crazy. Here’s some of the best shareable quotes for National Siblings Day 2019: “You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.” --Desmond Tutu “ Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.” -- Marc Brown "Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet." -- Vietnamese Proverb "Sweet is the voice of a sister in the season of sorrow." -- Benjamin Disraeli “ I don’t believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at. ” -- Maya Angelou "We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together." -- Erma Bombeck "A sister is like yourself in a different movie, a movie that stars you in a different life." - - Deborah Tannen “Having a sister is like having a best friend you can’t get rid of. You know whatever you do, they’ll still be there.” - - Amy Li “ When brothers agree, no fortress is so strong as their common life.” -- Antisthenes If you want to do really important things in life and big things in life, you can't do anything by yourself. And your best teams are your friends and your siblings." -- Deepak Chopra "Older siblings... the only people who will pick on you for their own entertainment and beat up anyone else who tries." -- Anonymous "A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves —a special kind of double." - - Toni Morrison “ Brothers don’t necessarily have to say anything to each other – they can sit in a room and be together and just be completely comfortable with each other.” -- Leonardo DiCaprio “Is solace anywhere more comforting than that in the arms of a sister.” - - Alice Walker<doc-sep>Happy National Siblings Day 2019!

"Ibrahim wants to be an actor. But as I've discovered, it's an easy dream to have, but a very difficult one to achieve. However, I feel Ibrahim has the talent. Once he enacted a monologue for my mother and I. While I was holding the sheet of paper on which his lines were written, I couldn't look at the sheet. I was busy looking at his eyes. They were so emotive," Sara had said. Sara, who is currently holidaying in New York, will soon return to the sets of Imitiaz Ali's upcoming film. Tentatively titled Aaj Kal, the film is a modern love story, and also stars Kartik Aaryan. The film is set to hit the screens on Valentine's Day 2020.
