Jhanak fame Salman Shaikh on Ramadan; says ‘Beyond fasting it teaches us discipline and meaningful life principles’

The holy month of Ramadan has begun, and actor Salman Shaikh is observing the fast while embracing the religious teachings of Prophet Muhammad. Known for his roles in Jhanak as Aditya Kapoor and Suhaagan, the actor shared his spiritual reflections and plans for Eid.
Salman spoke about the significance of Ramadan, saying, "In Ramadan, we commemorate the revelation of the Qur’an and fast during the sunlit hours to draw closer to God. It cultivates self-control, gratitude, and compassion for those less fortunate. This month is a time of intense spiritual rejuvenation, where we focus on devotion, read the Quran, and perform special prayers."

Reflecting on the deeper impact of Ramadan, he added, "This month holds special importance in my life. Beyond fasting, it teaches us discipline and meaningful life principles. It helps us control our desires, greed, hunger, and harmful addictions, making us stronger and more beautiful from within. It’s a process of detoxifying both body and mind."
For Eid, Salman follows a heartfelt tradition of returning to his hometown in Jaipur. He shared, "Festivities feel incomplete without my family and friends. Visiting them during Eid is a ritual for me. I have been fasting since I was around seven years old, and I always look forward to receiving my Eidi from my parents."

He further expressed his deep respect for his parents, saying, "Eid is a day to commemorate the trust, faith, love, and devotion of Prophet Muhammad towards Allah. My parents introduced me to this beautiful religious path, and their blessings mean the most to me."

For Salman Shaikh, Ramadan is not just about fasting—it’s about spiritual renewal, self-discipline, and cherishing the bonds of faith and family.
