For actor Taher Shabbir, Ramzan isn't just a month of fasting — it's a time of reflection, generosity and reconnecting with his roots. While his family's restaurant in Mumbai is a hub for festive feasting, his connection with the holy month goes beyond just serving food. "Ramzan means the world to me because it keeps me grounded spiritually," he shares, adding, "People think rozas last only a month, but the essence of Ramzan is to build habits of kindness, patience and gratitude that last all year."
