Huma Qureshi: Eid is More Than a Festival
21 Mar
Summary
- Eid signifies sharing with loved ones and the less fortunate.
- Childhood Eidi included money and chocolates, with playful fights.
- Huma Qureshi appreciates good biryani, though not a cook.
Actress Huma Qureshi views Eid as a profound ritual of togetherness and a reminder of life's true values. For her, the festival is an occasion to share joy and resources with family, friends, and the less privileged. This year's celebration will be a more intimate affair at home. Qureshi fondly recalls a chaotic yet joyous Eid from her college days, marked by shared meals with numerous friends. Growing up, Eid fashion was a significant discussion, followed by the excitement of receiving 'eidi' – money and chocolates – from elders. She shares a lighthearted rivalry with her brother, Saqib Saleem, over treats. While cooking is not her forte, Qureshi humorously notes her skill in appreciating and locating excellent biryani, calling it an art form in itself.
