Adaa Khan: Breaking fast with my family is a cherished tradition that brings us closer together during Ramadan

Actress Adaa Khan says that every Ramadan is special to her as she makes sure to do all the rituals with her family. She adds this holy month also helps her introspect and think of all that she has achieved so far, and all that she needs to work for. 

“It's a time of spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and gratitude. The month serves as a reminder to prioritise my faith. Ramadan inspires me to be more mindful of my words and deeds, to practice patience, kindness, and empathy in all aspects of my life. It's a time to cleanse my heart and soul, to seek forgiveness for past wrongs, and to strive for personal growth. Throughout the holy month, I often find myself undergoing profound personal transformations. Ramadan serves as a period of self-reflection. I become more mindful of my actions, strive for greater compassion and generosity” she says.

She adds, “I do observe fasting during Ramadan to the best of my ability. However, due to health concerns like low blood pressure, I sometimes need to adjust my fasting schedule, especially when balancing work commitments. I try to fast as much as I can.”

Talking about special traditions during this holy month, she says, “One of the most cherished traditions during Ramadan in my family is that we wake up in the morning, we eat sehri, offer prayer, go to work and the good thing about it is that the entire family does it together. Especially the prayers, we make sure to gather together. It is an extremely blessed, holy, and auspicious month. As much as possible we pray, we donate and everything. Being with your family is what matters the most. For Iftar, we visit a friend's or my aunt's home.”
