Many
top
Bollywood
stars
are
known
to
be
smokers
-
Shahrukh
Khan
tops
the
list.
He
is
known
to
be
a
chain
smoker.
Well,
with
all
the
pressure
that
actors
face
they
need
some
rebate.
I
suppose
smoking
gives
them
that
sigh
of
relief.
But
actresses
smoking
are
not
a
common
sight.
And
out
of
all
the
actresses
that
you
could
imagine
who
would
smoke,
the
husky
voiced
babe
Rani
Mukherjee
smoking
would
be
the
most
unpredictable
thing
in
the
whole
world
but
there
you
have
it.
She
has
to
have
a
cigarette
every
morning
before
kick
starting
her
day.
It
apparently
helps
her
answer
the
call
of
nature
on
time.
But
everytime
her
mom
sees
her
with
a
cigarette
in
her
hand,
it
doesn't
go
well
with
her
and
she
has
been
on
her
case
for
along
time
to
put
down
the
cigarette.
Well,
she
has
tried
but
her
efforts
have
backfired
with
side
effects
-
as
a
result
she
goes
back
to
the
habit.
Now
her
mothers
efforts
to
have
her
put
the
cigarette
down
have
made
her
smoke
in
the
bathroom
-
just
so
that
she
is
not
pestered
by
anyone
about
what
she
is
holding
in
her
hand.
As
an
additional
precautionary
measure,
she
also
makes
sure
that
she
has
a
good
stock
of
mint
and
deodorant
to
wane
off
any
"untoward" comment
by
her
mom.
She
also
makes
sure
that
her
cigarettes
are
well
hidden.
Well,
we
all
know
that
Rani
is
mature
girl
who
has
her
head
on
her
shoulders.
She
will
do
what
she
has
to.
She
is
a
grown
mature
woman.
Meanwhile
I
can't
help
but
wonder
does
her
husky
voice
come
from
the
effects
of
the
smoke
that
she
is
inhaling
all
the
while.
