hindi actress
rekha tied two panparak packets and hung them around his neck to catch the
cigarette ash. He was a chain smoker that much. He smokes 200
cigarettes a day. That's why all his bones are weak. At some point, the doctors told him that with even one more
cigarette he would die. That's when he gave up the
cigarette habit.
After giving up the habit of
cigarettes, the consequences are very terrible. In a
telugu film, he was given a character where he had to run up and down to say something to the villain. If it goes to 10-11 takes, he has to take a breath before speaking the dialogue. But the
director would say 'Cut...one more'. They don't know that he wouldn't be alive if he didn't take that breath. It was then that he realized the effects of
cigarettes on his body. He gently told everyone not to smoke. Drink alcohol too, but don't smoke, he begs us. He is an example of that.
