All know that Shah Rukh Khan is a chain smoker. But on the day that he turned 40 (Wednesday), SRK said he was planning to quit smoking for a healthier life.
“It’s completion of four decades of life. Sounds nice and good,” said the Padmashree Awardee, who gave a string of hits like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai , Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge , Devdas .
A self-proclaimed chain-smoker, SRK said, “I am planning to quit smoking for a healthier life as I enter another decade”.
“Life has been good to me so far and I am happy to know that my birthday was being remembered and celebrated by people in India and everywhere,” said SRK, who is in New York to shoot for ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’.
“I am not much into celebrating birthdays. Never been like that. Not even when I was very young,” said SRK, who has starred in memorable films like Swades , Main Hoon Na , Kal Ho Na Ho , ‘Darr’ and ‘Maya Memsaab’.
“I have just finished a hard day’s work, my leg is hurt. It feels good to be alive because of these pains, these aches. Lack of sleep makes me feel good, so it’s nice way to start another new decade in my life,” he told NDTV.
