The photo shared by Sakshi on her Instagram story displayed her banana leaf platter filled with 22 traditional food items from the state of Kerala. Sakshi wrote the season's greetings on her photo, "Onam Asamsakal." 

Meanwhile, Ziva gave her mother Sakshi company as she too was seen enjoying a similar-looking thali.
