Leading telly actors talk about how they celebrate Eid

If you wonder how your favourite television stars celebrate Eid, here are the three most popular television hunks talking about how they used to celebrate the festival in their childhood and now.


Mohammad Nazim: I have always missed celebrating Eid with my whole family. So, this year when I realised that I had a free schedule, I decided to spend the whole month of Ramzan with my family and close friends. I am in Markotla, Punjab for a month. I have been offering help at the langar in the village and spending time with my family like we used to do during my childhood days. I have always received money as Eidi which my siblings and I used to collect and later buy clothes and accessories for ourselves. This year since I have been offering my help at the langar for the needy and poor, their blessings are going to be the best Eidi I ever received.

Sehban Azim: I have a very basic approach towards celebrating Eid. We usually go to Delhi, if work is not an issue, to celebrate. But whether we are in Delhi or Mumbai, we get ready early in the morning for Namaz and decide what’s to be done. I either call friends at home or visit them. In Mumbai, we go for breakfast. Either you invite friends and family on the first day and go to their home the next day or you go visit them first and invite them on the second day. Simple and nice gatherings with scrumptious food and happy conversations are what my Eid is made of. That's the basic routine almost everyone follows. As a kid, I used to wait for Amma and Abba to give us Eidi...then my brothers and I used to count our Eidi and shop.

Ayyaz Ahmed: I miss my family since I stay in Mumbai. I hardly get time to go to Kolkata, but I usually celebrate Eid the way it should be celebrated. I get up in the morning, go for morning Namaz and then meet my friends and family and eat a lot of sweets and food. But this year is a bit different as I am shooting. I would be going to my shoot directly after Namaz and would be working the whole day. I used to love Eid as a child. My uncle used to pamper me a lot I used to get a lot of things when I was small.
