The Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is known for his hard work and dedication towards his art but there was one more thing for which he was pretty famous in the past.
We are talking about his habit of smoking, there are quite a few old photos on the Internet in which he is seen smoking but the good thing is that he has quit smoking some years ago.
Recently, actor Pradeep Rawat who is best known for his role of Ghajini Dharmatma in Aamir Khan and Asin starrer “Ghajini” gave an interview in which he talked about the time when he worked with Shah Rukh Khan.
Pradeep Rawat worked with Shah Rukh Khan in Rakesh Roshan directed “Koyla” which also starred Madhuri Dixit and Amrish Puri in important roles. He said that he was not close to Shah Rukh during the shooting but SRK was always well-mannered and a wonderful guy. Pradeep Rawat further said that one thing that he remembers very clearly is that he hasn’t seen any other actor smoking as much as Shah Rukh Khan does as he used to light a cigarette, use that one to light another and then another one. Pradeep Rawat said that SRK was a true chain smoker but that didn’t affect his dedication towards his work.
In 2011, SRK attended an event in which he stated that he wanted to spend some time with his young son AbRam but wasn’t able to do that because of smoking. He said that he wanted to spend some time with AbRam just like he did with Aryan and Suhana, so he has already reduced smoking and now he is planning to give up and will try to be healthier and happier.
Smoking is injurious to health so even if your favourite actor or celebrity has a habit of smoking, don’t follow them.
