Today is World No Tobacco Day and , there are three top Bollywood actors who are fighting their battle with the cancer stick…
Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan have been fighting an unsuccessful battle against smoking from the past 10 years, they have declared their hate for cigarettes in public many times. They have also tried kicking the butt, only to pick it up after a point of time.
Shah Rukh had tweeted recently, “They (Shah Rukh’s children Aryan and Suhana) don’t like me smoking. I see that as a blessing. If they had no objection, I would have continued smoking.”
The fact remains that Shah Rukh even today is a heavy smoker and according to his close friends, he can’t do without a cigarette for more than three hours.
“Sometimes he still ends up smoking 8-10 packets a day,” says a close friend of the star.
Next in he line is our heartthrob Salman Khan. His close friends say Salman smokes lesser number of cigarettes than Shah Rukh. But one would see him incessantly lighting up the cancer sticks when he is chilling out with friends.
“I am a heavy smoker but I don’t want you to write that. I don’t want your children to take up smoking just because I do. I smoke because I haven’t been able to kick the habit,” Salman said.
“Bhai is not proud of the fact that he smokes. But he has cut down a lot on his smoking. These days, he tries not to smoke more than 3-4 packets a day and that too the ‘Milds’ brand of cigarettes,” says a close friend of the star.
Aamir, meanwhile, remained off the butt for months on end but he too gave up one day.
“I am sorry to tell you that I have smoked again,” he wrote on his blog and justified it saying it was because of the tension as his film was about to release.
