This custom started immediately following “Eid Milan” in 1989 when Mr. Siddique predicted that people with similar values would peacefully come together to form a single large family that would transcend all religious differences. Every year, the country looks forward to witnessing this amazing Iftaar dinner custom, which unites their favorite celebrities in a united greeting and reception that ignites such love, joy, and respect that it is inconceivable that such a vision could not have become Mr. Siddique’s legacy to this day.

In 2024, the dinner took place at the Taj Lands End in Mumbai. After a grand star-studded celebration last year, this year’s event was nothing short of spectacular either.

Apart from Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, icons and megastars such as Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, Anil Kapoor, Emraan Hashmi, Katrina Kaif, Urmila Matondkar, Kapil Sharma, Bharti Singh, Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash, Shehnaaz Gill, Ankita Lokhande, Mouni Roy and many more illustrious personalities have graced the red carpet of this celebration.

The Iftaar dinner party in 2024 was more than just a celebration of a day dedicated to seeing superstars by themselves. The real meaning of this Iftaar was found in the beautiful way that friends, family, and people from all walks of life joined together to celebrate and share their culture and joy.

People still talk about their favorite moments from Mr. Siddique’s yearly Iftaar dinners.
