For the nicotine, it does not matter if it is a beggar who inhales it or the King of Bollywood himself.
The pull of the dangerous substance is such that even the most determined will find it a mammoth task to make it a part of history after getting hooked.
In the end, Shah Rukh Khan's children's wish needed to come out to rescue him from his addictiveness to cigarettes.
Giving an interview to a Malayalam newspaper from Pollachi in Tamilnadu, where the shooting of film maker Priyadarshan's film 'Billo Barber' is going on, Shah Rukh told that in the next two-months he will say goodbye to his smoking for ever.
The film star said that his children hated his smoking habit and that their wish to see him without the company of cigarettes is a blessing in disguise as if they had no problems, he would have continued to smoke.
Health minister Anbumani Ramadoss will be the most happy man to hear king khan's announcement.
The minister had earlier made a request to Shah Rukh as well as other actors not to smoke in their films.
The actor said that he completely agree with what the minister told, but as the cinema is all about make believe, the film makers should have the creative liberties to show what they want.
Only the coming months will tell whether this decision of the actor will become a reality or not.
We all know about one perfectionist Khan who admitted sometime back that he has taken up smoking again because of the stress.
And for Shah Rukh, the reason behind this final two month period to kill the urge remains a mystery.
