Childhood Eid felt magical in the simplest ways: Parsa Evana

This Eid, actress Parsa Evana will be seen in a diverse line-up of projects, spanning television commercials and drama collaborations with notable co-stars and directors. In a candid conversation, she speaks about her upcoming releases, how she plans to spend Eid with her loved ones, and the personal meaning of sacrifice that has shaped her journey over time.

What are your projects audiences can look forward to this Eid?

This Eid, audiences will see me in a few exciting projects. I’ve done a TVC which was a really fun experience. There’s also “Othoba Tumi Ami”, directed by Imraul Rafat, where I’m working alongside Yash Rohan. Another special project is “Lighter”, also directed by Imraul Rafat, featuring Ziaul Hoque Polash. Each project has a very different flavour, and I’m genuinely excited for the audience to watch them.

Where will you celebrate Eid?

I’ll celebrate Eid with my family and close people. For me, Eid is less about big plans and more about warmth, food, laughter, and spending quality time with the people I love.

Eid-ul-Azha is considered an occasion that teaches sacrifice. What have you learned or practiced in your own life from this idea?

I think sacrifice is not always about giving up something big overnight. Sometimes it’s about choosing patience, working hard quietly, or letting go of things that no longer bring goodness into your life. Over time, I’ve learned that every dream demands some kind of sacrifice—comfort, time, emotions, or certainty. And I believe those sacrifices shape us into stronger and wiser people.

Any childhood Eid-ul-Azha memories that still touch you?

As a child, Eid felt magical in the simplest ways. I remember how my cousins and I would go from house to house delivering meat to relatives and neighbors after Qurbani. Those little moments of togetherness, laughter, and family bonding made Eid feel so special. Now when I look back, I feel the most beautiful part was that sense of togetherness, which becomes even more precious as we grow older.
