That's how television actors and actresses celebrate this very special festival
Sajid Khan
What does Eid mean to you? Firstly, it's a pious festival. Secondly, it's a significant day in the life of an individual who follows Islam. I celebrate it like any other Muslim, but this year, I haven't done anything, as I'm hosting the Screen Awards.
Rituals you follow: Reading namaaz at the mosque, followed by qurbani of the bakra are rituals I follow. But this year, I read namaaz in my vanity van, as I've been rehearsing for the awards ceremony.
Do you believe in sacrifice? I believe in whatever Islam preaches.
Most memorable Eid? When I was kid, I used to get money.
Tasneem Sheikh
What does Eid mean to you? Meeting family friends, being a bawarchi throughout the day (I'm an awesome cook) and of course, being a good host.
Rituals you follow: It's early morning namaaz. And before that, I have to finish making sheer korma.
Do you believe in sacrifice? I don't believe in sacrificing animals. All my family members are animal lovers, and we hate to slaughter goats.(yayyyyyyy to fellow animal lover)
Most memorable Eid? I cooked biryani for the first time when I was 16, and it was terrible!
