For actor Eijaz Khan, Eid means food, family and cherished memories
For me, Eid is about valuing relationships in life,' shares actor Eijaz Khan. He believes festivals bring families together. 'When you lose people in life, you tend to value festivities more; it's only then we truly get to be with our loved ones. Otherwise, everyone is busy in their own 'race''. 'Eid always brings overwhelming and emotional moments in abundance,' Eijaz continues. 'Even though you don't have people around you, like I lost my mum, I still miss her. Or my sister Suriya, who lives in Saudi, but we never forget to call her on the festivities.' This year the actor will have extended Eid-al-Adha festivities: 'One of my nieces is going to France for studies, so I've planned an after-Eid party on Sunday. That way, none of us can make the excuse of being busy with work. Also, I am travelling to be with my sister and her kids. I'll be in festive and family mode from Eid until July.' He credits his diverse roots for his Eid special dastarkhwan being a mix of the best delicacies. 'From Hyderabad, Solapur to Mumbai, you will find everything on our Eid special platter, courtesy of my chachi, my abba, and my brother, who are our family chefs. Among all recipes, my favourite is chari daal with khopra (coconut) chutney and shami kebabs with a curd filling. My mouth waters just thinking about the food. I try to be in the kitchen with them throughout, so I know how much effort it takes to prepare all these delicacies

Eijaz Khan calls the cancellation of Adrishyam 2 midway a ‘shocker', admits going through a ‘lull' in his career
Actor Eijaz Khan, who was thrilled to be back with his web series Adrishyam 2 which released last month, was disappointed when the show was halted after only six episodes. Speaking to us, the actor mentions, how the viewers had expected a richer offering—more episodes, but felt disappointed with the sudden change. 'No one was expecting the show to be cut short in the middle. It was a shocker for the cast too. The discussions are still ongoing with the producers and channel, and there's a possibility that the show might be revived. If that happens, I think everyone will be happy,' he says, lamenting the uncertainty of the show's future. Despite the inconsistency in his projects, Eijaz feels fortunate, as while many struggled for work post-COVID, he had back-to-back opportunities. The actor was seen in Jawan (2023), Adrishyam, City of Dreams Season 3 and Dhoom Dhaam, which released earlier this year. However, he acknowledges that he is currently experiencing a lull in his career. 'I am just an actor who is trying to act,' says Eijaz, adding, 'I was supposed to start shooting for City of Dreams Season 4, but it's been postponed. And in my 20 years in this business, 99.9% of postponed projects never come back. That's just how it is.'
