Both the superstars were dressed in blue for Eid.
B-town superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan had the best Eid present for their fans. Both decided to surprise their fans stationed outside their respective homes in Mumbai with a special appearance on Tuesday.

Revived the annual tradition of greeting his admirers, SRK took to social media to share his selfie with hundreds of his fans outside his bungalow 'Mannat' in Bandra cheering for the King of Bollywood.

In his post, the 'Raees' actor said that he was thrilled to meet his fans on Eid. "May Allah bless you with love and happiness, and may the best of your past be the worst of your future," he added.


This is the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began in 2020 that SRK appeared outside his bungalow and waved at his fans. He greeted them with folded hands, and flying kisses and struck his signature pose with arms wide open.

The actor had decided to halt the annual tradition of greeting his fans on Eid and his birthday due to the rising number of coronavirus cases in the pandemic.

The 56-year-old star opted for a blue t-shirt and denim. He stood on the raised platform constructed in the compound of his Bandra bungalow as fans welcomed him with a loud cheer. Nearly 30 cops were stationed outside the residence to control the crowd.

The scenario was similar a kilometre away from 'Mannat'. A huge crowd of fans blocked the road leading up to Galaxy apartments, where the 'Tiger Zinda Hai' star also greeted his fans from the balcony of his home.

Dressed in a blue pathani suit, the actor - fondly called Sallu Bhai by his admirers - waved at his fans.

Taking to Instagram, the actor wished his fans, "Eid Mubarak," along with his pictures.

On the work front, the superstars are busy working on their upcoming big-budget films.

While SRK will be seen in the action film 'Pathaan’ next year, the 'Bharat' star is prepping for the third instalment of 'Tiger 3', alongside actress Katrina Kaif. Salman will also be seen in the upcoming film 'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali' alongside Pooja Hegde, Shehnaaz Gill and Ayush Sharma, helmed by Farhad Samji, which is scheduled to be released on December 30 this year.

Meanwhile, Aamir Khan's daughter Ira took to Instagram to share pictures from her Eid celebration. 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na' actor Imran Khan - who is relatively inactive on social media - made a special appearance in her post.

The aspiring filmmaker also shared that she learnt that single people are eligible for Eidi (a gift offered to youngsters during the festivities). "I thought once you're an adult (18) it's done. You learn something new every day," she wrote.

Ingredients:
1.5 litres of milk
15 tsp of sugar or jaggery (this is not very sweet)
1/4 cup thick/thin vermicelli (a little less than 1/4 cup)
3 tbsp of ghee
1/4 cup almonds
1/2 cup cashews
1/4 cup pistachios
1/4 cup raisins
3/4 tsp green cardamom powder
Few strands of saffron soaked in 1/4 cup of warm milk

Method:
- Soak the almonds, cashews and pistachios for 30 mins
- After 30 mins drain the water and dry grind all of the above with the raisins and keep aside
- Take a kadhai, add the ghee to it
- Warm the ghee a little and once it starts melting add the vermicelli and roast it in the ghee, till it becomes a nice beige colour
- Gently add the milk and sugar/jaggery and cook it on low flame, stirring after every few minutes
- When the milk reduces to about half then add the cardamom powder and dry fruit mix and cook for a few more minutes
- Add in the soaked saffron strands and mix them in gently and let it cook for a minute or so

NOTE
For the consistency, just remember the Rabri will continue to thicken as it cools. It is best to leave it at a slightly thinner consistency than you would like the dish to be and let it thicken as it cools. To thicken further, just heat it on a low flame.
