Actor Tara Sutaria will host friends and family for Navroz at her own home for the first time, she told HTCity. She said she has been preparing with her house help and mother, and plans to decorate the table with fruits and flowers. For her, the Parsi New Year is a chance to bring the family together, as she and her twin sister Pia often travel and she no longer lives with her parents.
The festive menu will include mawa-ni-boi, a fish-shaped sweet covered with silver foil, along with lagan nu bhonu, a traditional wedding feast. Sutaria also plans to make saffron rice with zereshk berries, lamb shanks and other Parsi dishes. She described the decorated ses, arranged on a silver platter, as similar to a pooja thali.
Festive coverage can easily turn a community tradition into a celebrity lifestyle feature, while sweeping claims about Parsi food or customs can flatten a diverse culture. Sutaria’s account is more specific: it centres on family, a traditional feast and the symbolism of fish as prosperity. The useful measure is whether such stories leave readers with an accurate detail, such as what the ses contains, rather than just another celebrity menu.
