"You cannot tell me how to earn a packet, you cannot tell me what to eat and what to wear, what not to say to my wife, these are personal things," these were the words of Shahrukh Khan, when he was asked about Union Health Minister, Anbumani Ramadoss’son-screen appeal to him to quit-smoking!

Ramadoss had recently said on-screen that Khan should not have smoked in the stands while watching a cricket match in Mumbai. The otherwise ‘coolheaded’ King of Bollywood seems quite upset by the Minister’s remark. He revealed his irk recently in an interview to NDTV by saying that he does not like anyone telling him what to do and what not to.

He also added that he does not endorse drinking or smoking and even advices people against it, “I tell children all the time, please do not smoke because it is the worst. If I do not smoke, I would be a big movie star for many, many years to come or maybe I won't be because I smoke that is such a bad thing to do.”

Rumours have tine and again floated around about SRK quitting to smoke, first for his wife, then for his son, then for his daughter and then for a close friend. But they all ended in vain! King Khan, who is always ready to take up any challenge, could not beat this one! Maybe because it was too “personal” to take seriously!

Talking of challenges, he also told NDTV in his interview that he took the “challenge” of building his six pack abs because of his son Aryan. "My son told me Papa, you're fat... Though I wasn't, I didn't think I was fat. And I told him that, listen dude, I am not fat, I am okay… But he said no, you are fat papa... So I said okay give me some time and as this film required it..." Oh! And we thought that he had done all the hard work on his sexy look for us, his fans!”
