Tellyactors wishing everyone Eid Mubarak

As the holy month of Ramzan comes to an end, Telly Actors gear up to celebrate the end of their month long fast. They reminisce about this festival, Eid and talk about their favourite food.




Sana Shailkh (Reet of Mera Naam Karegi Roshan):

Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fi?r means "to purify"; and so the holiday symbolizes the purification after completing the fasting month. This is the most special festival in our calendar and every year has been special. My favorite dish is the mutton biriyani and my mum makes the most scrumptious biryani in the world. In the evenings I used to spend my Eidi on eating out. There used to be an overflow of food at home but eating out with my own money made me feel like a grown up.

Lubna Salim (Jasoda of Mera Naam Karegi Roshan):

In my family, Eid is all about trotting on an elaborate gastronomical trail throughout the holy month and also on the day we break our fast. I love to cook and the elaborate feast makes sure the kitchen is abuzz with action. I remember queuing up with my cousins and siblings to receive Eidi from one of my uncles who used to keep a wad of crisp bank notes which he distributed among children. I still remember the thrill of receiving those "Karare notes". Being the eldest child of my parents I used to get the maximum amount of Eidi. In the evenings we used to pool in all the money and buy things which were on our priority list. Times have changed and my children demand designer clothes and Eidi in thousands. It's a tradition in our family that every year we go to Mohammad Ali road or Bhindi Bazaar and savor the delicacies there. On the day of Eid we call our friends and relatives for a feast and our Hindu friends love coming over and gorging on the "sewaiyaan, pulao, biriyani and sheer kurma" prepared by me.
