You cannot put on an act so spontaenously in public, that's just non-logic.
@Carmilla The reason why I am using these celebrities as an example, is due to the fact that you know about this person and I know about this person. It gives example through visualization and it is easier to understand and process it if we can visualize it. These examples are, however, real in life and not only happened to the celebrities.
I have a friend whose dadaji had two wives. His father is the son from the second wife, and, amongst the children of the second wife. His father was the only one who was close to the children from the first wives and had a good siblings relationship. Even to the fact that my friend is employed as one of the trusted executives in which his father's half-brother sits at the board of directors of. If his father did not have a good relationship with his half-siblings, my friend wouldn't be employed in that company.
Another real example was the Chinese Qing Dynasty the Emperor Yongzheng. I am not sure how well verse you are in Chinese history. But, the Emperor Yongzheng was one of the many sons of Emperor Kangxi that survived to adulthood. His path to the throne was not easy and he had many contenders when he was fighting to the throne. One of his main rivals was his own full brother the 14th Prince. Yet, his most loyal and biggest supporter was the 13th Prince who was only his half brother. To cut long story short when Emperor Yongzheng ascended to the throne he house prisoned his full brother the 14th Prince ordering the 14th Prince to take care the cemetery of their parents for the duration of his reign. In fact the 14th Prince was only freed after the Emperor Yongzheng died and was freed by his son and successor the Emperor Qianlong. Yet, the Emperor Yongzheng generously and graciously awarded the 13th Prince. The 13th Prince was given special title to differentiate him and his descendants in the Qing Dynasty court. And he was given special permission to revert his name to original which was a taboo in Chinese culture at that time to share a name with the Emperor.
Another example of half siblings that got along and even inseparable are the story Ramayan. Lord Ram and lord Lakshman despite being half siblings are inseparable. With Lakshman choosing to abandoned the luxury and glory of lives in favor of following his brother, lord Ram, to the forest and lived in hardships and a life of tapasya. He even left his wife and his other brothers to be with lord Ram, despite him being the twin brother of lord Shagtrugna. Another example, will be lord Bharat whom lord Ram trusted with the administration and securities of his kingdom. Not an easy task especially after such a betrayal by lord Bharat's own mother, especially with such big authorities and powers at lord Bharat's hands.
Having said that, of course, I do not mean to say that all the half siblings in the world had to accept one another graciously with open arms and full of hug and let bygone be bygones. The Indian cultures have put the terms of half siblings in a very bad connotation. Where it is much more acceptable to accept cousins siblings than half siblings. There are also sometimes circumstances and situations that made it easy for our to hate our half siblings. I am not saying that half siblings should accept one another or should hate one another. I am simply saying that being half siblings does not necessarily and automatically mean that half siblings will hate one another, do not get along and refuse to accept one another.
Good equation examples of half siblings are portrayed by current Naagin 3 show. Where Andy Sehgal has 2 wives and 5 children. 3 children from the legal wife and 2 children from the mistress. Mahir and Yuvraj love their sautela bhai even though they are brothers from different mother, but Kuhu hated them to the core and are irritated and annoyed by their presence and continuous attempt to be at their lives and accepted and being shared their inheritance rights and money. Whilst children of the mistress Pratham is also treating their brothers and sister with utmost respect and love, but Aditya do not regard them as their siblings. As Aditya easily said to Vikrant that he could kill Mahir if Vikrant wants to as Mahir is only his sautela bhai. Everybody has their own equation with each other and personal feelings whether it is acceptance or hatred.
