In an industry where schedules are packed and free moments are fleeting, Eid becomes a special window for reconnecting. “Usually, we don’t really get to see our relatives often because everyone’s so busy. But during Eid, everyone is free, and that gives us the chance to meet, talk, and share time together. I’m really looking forward to those chats and moments.”
