Aamir Khan revealed that he had given up smoking in advance of his son Junaid Khan’s next movie, Loveyapa. He said that he has smoked for many years. Aamir Khan said that he had given up smoking during the trailer release for his son Junaid Khan’s forthcoming romance movie Loveyapa. He went on to say that although he had been considering quitting the “bad habit,” he thought now would be a good moment.
When Aamir was worried if he could smoke in front of Amitabh Bachchan
In a 2018 interview with Mid-Day, Aamir stated how, when filming Vijay Krishna Acharya’s historical action movie, he was unsure if he could smoke in front of his co-star Amitabh Bachchan from Thugs of Hindostan. You know who he asked for advice? Rukh Khan, Shah. Known for his smoking addiction back then, Shah Rukh co starred with Amitabh in two popular films: Karan Johar’s 2001 family drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Aditya Chopra’s 2000 romance drama Mohabbatein.
“Shah Rukh told me, ‘Amit ji is cool, you can smoke in front of him. If he scolds you, just run away.’ Next thing you know, Amit ji and I are watching Wonder Woman during the shoot in Malta and he tells me, ‘I heard you asked Shah Rukh if you can smoke in front of me.’ I didn’t know how to react. But Amitji was cool,” Aamir had stated. In Italy, Aamir and Amitabh played for the Thugs of Hindostan. In addition to Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh, it was produced by Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films.
Why Aamir has quit smoking
“I’m very happy to say that I’ve quit this bad habit. And whoever is watching or listening, I want to tell them too to please quit it. It’s not a good habit. Mujhe lagta tha mujhe chhodna bhi hai, mere bete ka career shuru ho raha hai. Maine apne dil mein ek mannat maangi. Main chhod raha hu, chahe chale ya na chale, main apni taraf se ek cheez kar raha hu (I felt I wanted to quit, my son’s career is starting too. I made a resolve in my heart. I’m quitting, whether it (Junaid’s next film) works or not, I’m doing this independent of that). As a father, I wanted to sacrifice. Aur kahin universe mein ja ke uska kuchh ho (Hope it does something somewhere in the universe),” Aamir stated during Loveyapa’s trailer debut in Mumbai on Friday.
On the professional front, Aamir Khan will be next seen in Sitaare Zameen Par.
