I have reduced smoking, says the Bollywood king Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan is trying to kick the butt. While he’s been trying for a long time, the effort is more now.  “I have reduced smoking,” confirms SRK. Often criticised, and once fined for smoking in public, SRK has pulled his socks up, getting serious about his resolve. 

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh, who’s working on his next with Aanand L. Rai, has been spending time catching up on movies he’s missed. This also helps make sure he’s occupied, while trying to quit the cancer stick. “I saw Lipstick Under My Burkha, just to sound intellectual,” he guffaws. 

“I saw Aanand sir’s film with that very long name too — Shubh Mangal Savdhaan. And then I saw Dangal. It released last year, but I saw it this year. I saw Ek Tha Tiger as well. I mean Tiger Zinda Hai,” he laughs, correcting his faux pas. “Bareilly Ki Barfi was also very sweet.”
