Nowadays,
drinking
and
smoking
habits
are
very
common
among
the
actresses
in
Kollywood,
in
sharp
contrast
to
the
Tamil
film
industry's
former
reputation
for
being
conservative.
Most
of
the
young
actresses
consume
non-alcoholic
beverages
in
the
parties
and
have
regular
night-outs.
Comparing
Lakshmi
Rai
with
the
buxom
Shakeela
John
is
sheer
anathema.
But
the
two
actresses
have
a
common
habit:
being
connoisseurs
of
different
varieties
of
beer!!
Earlier,
even
third
rate
Malayalee
actors
refused
to
act
with
the
sex-bomb
Shakeela
due
to
her
drinking
and
smoking
habits.
Some
of
her
co
stars
complained
that
the
actress
regularly
consumes
beer
during
shooting
breaks,
and
smokes
nearly
two
dozen
packs
of
cigarettes
per
day.
Now
the
Belgaum
beauty
Lakshmi
Rai
is
going
one
up
on
Shakeela
in
this
habit!
According
to
the
studio
sources,
Lakshmi
Rai
consumes
nearly
3
beer
cans
during
every
break
of
her
shooting!
In
film
parties
her
thirst
for
beer
seems
unquenchable,
thereby
making
her
lose
her
consciousness.
