<p> It’s a day of joyous celebrations for Muslims in the City. Id-ul-Fitr brings with it many happy moments and our stars are not behind in observing the festivities. <br /><br />Spending time with family, friends and going for shopping for new clothes and accessories is high on one’s priority list. And of course, the day can never be complete without a bite of homemade biryani. <br /><br /> Namma Bengaluru boy Zulfi Syed says he comes home every year to celebrate Id-ul-Fitr, “The day for me begins with prayers and then I go to visit all my friends here in the City. Till date, I have made it a point to be in Bangalore for the festival,” says Zulfi, who is looking forward to binging on the traditional biryani as well.<br /><br />Actress Heeba Shah, daughter of veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, is all excited about Id.<br /> “I am going to make Sheer Kurma or Sevaiyan. It’s a sweet preparation. I have never tried making it even though it’s so easy to make,” she exclaims. <br /><br /> She is also looking forward to the family lunch, which takes place every year. “I love the food during the festival especially biryani, shammi kebabs and kurma.” <br /><br /></p>.<p>She will be saying her namaz and meeting friends as well later. And has she finished her shopping for the season? “No, I haven’t shopped for any new clothes this time. But I have a salwar kurta that I have not worn before. So I will be wearing that today.” Abbas, who is currently with family in Chennai says that the highlight of Id is the Sheer Kurma and Doodh Sevaiyan. <br /><br />“This year we are planning to go all out to celebrate. The day will start with prayers and we are expecting a lot of family and friends to visit us. In the night however the entire family is going out for a special dinner,” he adds. <br /><br />It’s not all festive for actress Sadha Mohammed Syed. “We generally don’t celebrate Id in a big way. This year my mother is not well so we will be restricting it to prayers and hope for her quick recovery,” she adds.</p>
