'I wish I would still get eidi...' - Zarine

No comments
Updated on
Eid ul Fitr are Arabic words. While Eid means "festivity," Fitr means "breaking the fast". Eid is the conclusion of the thirty days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan.
I miss the time when my naani (maternal grandmother) was alive and our entire family use to gather at her house for Eid lunch. We ate together after we shook hands and asked each other for forgiveness. After that we would go to our neighbors and relatives for asking forgiveness too. As a child I loved dressing up and enjoyed all the festivities. Even now Eid is the time I love shopping for Indian wear and dressing up. I read the Quran which gives me a very good feeling and gives me peace.


My mom makes the world's best biryani and sheer korma that we love feasting on. As a kid I used to get lots of eidi but now that I've grown up I have to give eidi. I wish that I would still get eidi because I love the feeling of receiving it. Apart from delicious non-vegetarian items one can also enjoy various kinds of mithai (sweets) especially kheer, malpua, phirni, jalebi and even paneer ka samosa during Eid.

Contrary to what was fed to movie lovers that there was no place for kissing action in popular movie Mausam, events are pointing to the contrary. This was revealed by no less personality than the star actress in the movie Sonam Kapoor. She told Mumbai Mirror that there indeed was a kiss scene between her and Shahid Kapoor the other that featured in the celebrated movie.
The kiss would not have been possible if not for the intervention of Shahid’s father. It was out of respect which she had for the director of the movie director that Kapoor agreed to do the kiss bidding. Sonam had initially denied that there was no such scene in the movie. 
It was not easy for Sonam to accept the kiss. There was dramatic scene at the setting of the film as a result of the real battle that was waged to get her accepts the kiss role in the scene. It took the intervention of Pankaj Kapur’s father for her to accept. When she was informed of the role Kapur she has strongly resisted it until the director decided to put a call to his father who now convinced her.
It appears that the whole drama was hinged on the soared relationship that she had in the past with the co star in the movie Shahid. Sonam in a chat with Mumbai mirror admitted that there was a kiss scene at the movie and she did actually kissed Shahid in the movie. All seemed to have been settled between the two stars. Her superb performance in the movie was confirmed by movie producer Sheeta Talwar.

Sonam & Shahid communicate through letters

Updated on
We have all kinds of directors who make their actors go through all kinds of training and workshops to get into the skin of the role.


But what Pankaj Kapoor got Shahid Kappor and Sonam Kapoor to do was really astounding and guess they continue to do so.


Pankaj Kapoor wanted Shahid and Sonam to stop using the phone, sms or any short format for communication.


He wanted them to write handwritten letters to communicate for two months before they started shooting with each other. Initially both hated it.


Today's generation is very keen and communicates with 140 characters on sms and for them to write a note was cumbersome.




Pankaj Kapoor says, "I belong to different school of acting. Everything that my actors do have to be contextual. I made Shahid and Sonam go through this extensive exercise so that they could start feeling like the characters they plan. It took some time as first we need to break inhibitions, then develop new habits and then fall in love."


Also both didn't know how to write! So he put a strict rule that unless and until they go through this exercise he will not start shooting.


Both wrote really bad notes for two weeks which left the director Pankaj Kapoor fuming and baffled.


Pankaj Kapoor felt that it was very important for them to be able to write their thoughts down. And also since Pankaj Kapoor belongs to theatre he applied all mythologies of theatre.


Interestingly, the two got so used to writing letters that they continue to do so even today. Now it's been two years that they have continued this exercise.
