Last
February,
Saif
Ali
Khan
had
a
mini-stroke
and
subsequently
gave
up
smoking.
But
the
lure
of
nicotine
won,
and
the
actor
is
lighting
up
again.
Saif
doesn't
deny
he
has
started
smoking
again,
"It's
not
that
I
have
become
a
regular
smoker
again.
I
smoke
occasionally.
But
after
I
have
had
like
three
glasses
of
wine,
I
feel
like
taking
a
few
puffs.
And
it's
not
that
I
drink
regularly
either...
only
once
in
a
while,
when
I
am
at
parties
or
socially.
I
know
I
shouldn't
smoke
and
when
my
family
comes
to
know
that
I'm
smoking
again,
they'll
get
very
upset
with
me.
They
are
concerned
about
me
after
what
happened
last
year,
but
I
have
not
become
a
smoker
again," Saif
says
vehemently.
In
a
party
last
week
at
Bling,
Kareena
went
looking
for
Saif
and
lost
her
temper
when
she
found
him
outside
the
venue,
smoking.
Bebo
wants
him
to
kick
the
butt.
Meanwhile
the
actor
is
all
set
to
kick
butt
in
his
next
release
Race,
for
which
he
is
in
Goa.
He
says,
"Race
isn't
an
action
film
as
most
people
think.
It
has
a
lot
of
thrilling
sequences
like
car
chases,
jumping
off
the
26th
floor
of
a
building.
I
took
on
Race
because
it's
a
smart,
sexy
slick
thriller!"
