Mumbai, March 21 – As Eid is being celebrated worldwide on Saturday, many prominent figures from the television industry also shared some of their cherished memories of the festival.
Actor Aasif Sheikh, who plays the role of Vibhuti Narayan Mishra in the popular television show "Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai 2.0," said that for him, Eid has always been a very special and emotional occasion, filled with love, gratitude, and togetherness.
Recalling his childhood experiences, he added, "I still cherish my childhood memories of starting the day with Namaaz, followed by seeking blessings from elders and enjoying a grand feast at home. Dishes like Sheer Khurma, Biryani, and Kebabs were always a highlight."
He added that over the years, the celebration has grown larger, now including not just his family but also close friends and colleagues.
Sharing his plans for this year's Eid, Aasif said, "This year, I am planning a small get-together with friends at home, and I am also excited to host a special Eid treat for my co-actors on the set. We spend so much time together that the set feels like a second home, and celebrating festivals there makes it even more memorable. For me, Eid is about spreading smiles, strengthening bonds, and sharing happiness with everyone around."
Salim Zaidi, also known as Tilu from "Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai 2.0," added that Eid is all about joy, laughter, and being surrounded by people you love.
"As a child, I remember the excitement of wearing new clothes, collecting Eidi, and visiting friends and relatives throughout the day. One of my favourite traditions has always been meeting friends and indulging in festive delicacies like Seviyan and Sheer Khurma. Even today, I make it a point to catch up with my close friends during Eid, as it’s the perfect time to reconnect," he remembered.
