Eid-ul-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan and the beginning of Shawwal, the tenth Islamic month. Today Eid ul Fitr is being celebrated in many countries and few states of India. While the festival is celebrated by meeting loved ones and enjoying lavish feasts, the celebrations this year will be different owing to the second wave of COVID19. On the auspicious occasion, scores of Bollywood stars including Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Dulquer Salmaan, R Madhavan and many others extended greetings on the festival.
The 'Mr India' actor took to Twitter and shared a post by History Archives' Instagram page. The post showcased a soulful poem featuring a prayer to exude positivity and light amid the dark times. Along with the post, Anil noted, "For the praying and the ones who can't anymore. For the ones who need prayers a little more than most others in these tough times. For whom there is none left to pray for or with. This Eid, we do. For all of you."
Urging people to stay indoors and keep their masks on whenever they need to step out, Abhishek Bachchan took to Twitter and shared a picture featuring the crescent moon and a mosque with lamps hanging in the backdrop. "Eid mubarak. (Folded hands emoticon)#StayHomeStaySafe #MaskOn," wrote Bachchan.
