Malaika's mother also posted photos from the celebrations along with a heartfelt note. She said her grandchildren were 'going goggle eyed' while the dishes were served on the banana leaves.

"Onam - What a glorious day for the family to meet up at home, that too after nearly 5 months. How I have missed these family meals. Normally my home is full of people - my family and dear friends. Missing my dear friends today. I am having the Onam Sadya at my home after 2 years. In the interim, my grand children have grown older and are now really gettin g to understand the meaning of the festival. Eating on a banana leaf was a novel experience for them. The young one had loads of questions on why they were going to eat this way. They were going goggle eyed, as the various dishes were served one by one on the leaf," she wrote.
