Sumbul Touqeer shares her childhood memories of the Eid celebration
Sumbul Touqeer recalled her childhood days when she used to stay in Delhi with her family. She shared that a few days before Eid, the entire extended family would gather at their house in Katni and all the cousins (10 kids) would gather together on Eid day and form a line, height-wise, to take Eidi from each member of the family.
She mentioned that after getting the Eidi, they would contribute 10 rupees each and would go to a nearby park and eat things brought from the collected money. She said, "It used to be a lot of fun with the entire family being together."
When asked if she still follows the same tradition with her group of cousins, she said, "Not really. Now, we are all grown up and are busy in our respective lives. We are here and I'm busy with shoot; some cousins are busy with studies and jobs thus we can't catch up like before."

Furthermore, Sumbul candidly revealed that her father gives her Eidi and takes it back. She added, "When we used to return from Katni to Delhi, Papa would ask for our Eidi and we would hand it over to him thinking we would ask for it later. But when we used to ask him to give us the money, he would say that we already used it."
She also added that she asks for Eidi on the sets of her show.
