SRK to announce he has finally quit smoking after 30 years!

On November 2, 2024, Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his 59th birthday. The superstar engaged with several admirers during a special meet and greet event. SRK declared at the ceremony that, after 30 years, he has finally given up smoking. He also disclosed that although he was still working on it, he had hoped he wouldn't feel so "breathless."

Shah Rukh Khan declared, “I am not smoking anymore guys,” much to the delight of his fans. He revealed, “Mujhe aisa laga tha ki I will not feel so breathless, but abhi bhi feel kar raha hu (I thought I wouldn't feel so breathless, but the feeling is still there).” The actor went on to say that, by God's help, he was still catching up and that everything will soon be alright.

 

A admirer then declared that he would likewise stop smoking cigarettes on that day since he was inspired by Shah Rukh. In response, SRK advised him to listen to his intuition. He claimed that he wasn't a "role model" and that people should follow their own desires at every given stage of life.

The Jawan actor stated, “It is the worst thing that after smoking for 30 years I’m giving the advice, ‘Don’t smoke.’” He said that everyone knows smoking is not good for them. SRK expressed that it would be ‘good’ if they could give it up and ‘bad’ if they couldn’t. He concluded by saying, “But having said that, jo cheez me jaisa lage apne apne time me waisa waisa karo (do whatever you feel like doing in your own time).”

 

Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his birthday with his closest friends and family in addition to his admirers. Gauri Khan, his wife, shared a sweet photo from the festivities. Gauri had a hand on SRK's arm as he cut a cake in the picture. Suhana Khan, their daughter, was in the picture as well and cheered for her dad.

The post's second slide included an old picture of Shah Rukh and Gauri. She added a caption to the image, “A memorable evening last night with friends and family… happy birthday @iamsrk.”
