For Danish Pandor, Ramzan is beyond rituals
For Danish, Ramzan carries a deeper meaning that goes beyond routine fasting. He views it as a period of discipline and reflection. “The beautiful month of Ramzan, it’s more about self-control, detoxifying yourself and your entire body, and at the same time, trying to resist worldly desires.
It’s like the almighty telling you when you need to eat and when to stop. It is more about purity of your body and soul and about community building as well,” he explained.Like many, Danish associates Eid with food and fond childhood memories. He recalled, “There is a feast and the food being served comes with a different feeling. So many of my friends actually call me just before Ramzan to ask me what is being cooked at your place.
It feels so good to have a celebration the entire month. I have got a sweet tooth and it is difficult to control. Sevain is my favourite, I like sheer khurma too but sevain is my absolute go-to.
”He further added, “When I was growing up and we used to fast, me and my brother used to look forward to what is there during Iftar. We used to come back from school and just wait to see what all is being cooked. In the sehri, we would have egg, paratha and tea.
Rooh Afza used to be our favourite and we would consume it in various forms. Now, I have to be more careful of what I eat while breaking my fast due to my profession, but I miss the lack of worry we used to have as a child.

‘Dhurandhar Mahotsav’ on Eid 2026 for Danish Pandor
With ‘Dhurandhar 2’ releasing during a festive window, Danish feels the celebrations have multiplied. “Not just Eid, but Gudi Padwa and Navratri are also there. It’s three festivals happening together, and that’s the best thing that has happened to me.
Someone told me that along with the festivals, Dhurandhar mahotsav ho raha hai. Cinema halls are actually celebrating the release of the film, people are showering so much love on it everywhere, what else do you want.
Sabka mahotsav ek saath ho raha hai and sab taraf se aashirwad aur dua aa rahi hain, to woh bas aane do,” he said.Even with such overwhelming response, Danish remains focused on the bigger picture. “That’s just a part of life, and being humbled and staying grounded is important.
You just need to look forward to another part of work. You are just as good as your last movie. I am just looking out for another project, working on it and making sure that I am not disappointing the audience that have loved me so much. I feel surreal, it is overwhelming and I’m extremely grateful to everyone, but the responsibility has also increased that I shouldn’t disappoint my audience,” he concluded.
