While
Bipasha
Basu
is
a
thorough
professional,
she
will
never
compromise
on
her
health.
She
is
known
to
be
extremely
health
conscious
and
never
smokes
or
drinks.
She
has,
therefore,
declined
to
even
hold
a
cigarette,
let
alone
smoke
it,
in
her
upcoming
film
Pankh.
Director
Sudipto
Chattopadhyay
wanted
Bipasha
to
smoke
on
screen
for
an
important
part.
But
she
is
strictly
against
smoking
and
refused
to
do
it.
When
she
was
given
the
choice
of
holding
the
cigarette,
she
rejected
even
that
option.
She
felt
that
if
she
holds
a
cigarette
or
smokes
it,
she
will
be
endorsing
smoking.
Finally,
Sudipto
came
up
with
a
creative
solution.
He
placed
a
canister
jar
in
front
of
her
which
emitted
smoke
and
it
was
shot
in
a
way
that
it
looked
as
if
the
smoke
was
coming
out
of
her
mouth.
Bipasha
has
always
been
against
smoking.
She
had
refused
to
smoke
even
in
Corporate.
She
wasn"t
even
in
favour
of
boyfriend
John
Abraham
doing
No
Smoking.
Sudipto
didn"t
have
any
problem
with
Bipasha"s
behaviour.
He
felt
that
the
actor
should
be
comfortable
with
what
they
are
doing.
