Ramadoss urges Big B, King Khan to quit smoking

Now take this. while he is unable to control the mess at the country's premier hospital AIIMS, Union health minister Anbumani Ramadoss has now poked his long nose into the affairs of Bollywood on the pretext of expressing concern over people's health. Although it may seem to be ridiculous, Ramadoss has urged Bollywood stars Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan to stop smoking in movies as millions of youngsters emulate them and may imbibe the bad habit!

What a justification! Ramadoss should first ask his brethren (politicians) to behave properly in public, for their shameless and corrupt ways which have not only doomed the future of the nation's youth, but also brought the country a bad name internationally.

In a recent interview with a news channel, the health minister had said that he has already made appeals to Shahrukh Khan in this regard and would be happy to make similar plea to King Khan as well as others, including the Big B. The minister has said that he is also against smoking scenes in movies as this too has bad influence on the audience. Well folks, if Ramdoss is to be taken seriously, then there is no more of 'Devdas' or 'Charitraheen' on the silver screen! Chandan Das
