It's been a full year since Shah Rukh Khan quit smoking

Shah Rukh Khan was once a heavy smoker. He could have given up anything but cigarettes. This bad habit caused concern not only for Shah Rukh's family but also for his millions of fans, followers, and admirers. But finally, on November 2, 2024, during his birthday celebrations, Shah Rukh Khan himself announced to his fans that he had quit smoking.

So last year Shah Rukh Khan gave his fans a big gift on the D day.
His birthday, like every year, was a special one, but  he said something that both delighted and surprised his fans. He publicly announced that he no longer smoked cigarettes. He said that he had quit smoking and had begun a new life. He said that this decision was not easy. To be honest, Shah Rukh himself admitted that quitting the puffs were difficult. He used to smoke around a hundred cigarettes a day. People couldn't believe that someone could smoke so much, but it was Shahrukh's way of life, he always did whatever he felt like with all his heart.

Though King Khan quit smoking, but the negative effects of smoking for so many years haven't yet subsided. Shahrukh himself said that he thought that after quitting, breathing would become easier within a few days, but he still experiences some discomfort. Shahrukh smiled and said, "Inshallah, everything will be fine soon." Shahrukh has now promised  that he will take care of himself in the future. His decision has delighted fans. People are praising him on social media. Some wrote that a real hero is one who improves himself, while others said that if Shahrukh can quit smoking, we can too.

This difficult but possible step of Shahrukh's is an example not only for him but also for society. Millions of people in India are trapped in the smoking habit and despite repeated attempts, they are unable to quit. When such a big superstar has taken this step, it's clear it will have an impact on people. The government may launch any number of campaigns, but when a film star does something like this, the impact is even greater.

Regarding Shah Rukh Khan's past habits, he himself revealed in 2011 that he used to smoke over a hundred cigarettes daily. He would skip meals, avoid drinking  water, and drank thirty cups of black coffee a day. Fans were shocked by this even then. But when the same man stands on stage and declares he has quit smoking, it gives people hope that any habit in life can be broken, just by having a strong will.

There's also talk that Shah Rukh Khan might become the face of an anti-smoking campaign in the future. Several health organizations and brands have approached him with offers as promoting something resonates directly with the public. In fact, many Bollywood stars are now paying attention to health awareness. Salman Khan focuses on fitness, Akshay Kumar is an example of yoga and discipline, and now Shah Rukh Khan is setting an example by quitting smoking, which is a positive sign for the industry as well.

Fans are saying that Shah Rukh's move is nothing less than a dream come true. He has accomplished what many find difficult. Many young people wrote on social media that they too will try to quit smoking. Some even wrote that if Shah Rukh quits, they too will stop smoking. This means that even a small decision by a superstar can change the lives of millions.

Now that Shah Rukh is busy shooting his new film and focusing on his health, we hope he remains healthy and continues to share such positive messages to his fans. King Khan is a king not only on screen but also in real life. In the comments on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, his fans' posts seemed to come from the heart.

Many even shared memes saying, "Now the real don is the one who conquered his bad habit."

Fans were emotionally moved. Many shared old videos of Shah Rukh Khan smoking cigarettes and wrote, "Look, a person can change, you just need to be honest." Many expressed hope that Shah Rukh Khan's move would bring positive change among young people.

A female fan wrote, "I've told my husband that Shah Rukh Khan has quit, so you should quit too." Some jokingly commented, "Now, if there's a smoking scene in films, it will look fake because the King has become healthy."

Hashtags like #SRKQuitSmoking and #KingGoesClean began trending on Instagram. Millions of people commented on his posts, expressing their inspiration. Someone wrote, "Thank you, Shah Rukh Khan, you've once again proven that a true superstar is one who shows others the path in life."

Some doctors and health experts also praised Shah Rukh Khan, saying his move would help spread awareness. Many people made videos describing how they, too tried to quit smoking, inspired by Shah Rukh Khan.

One of his longtime fans wrote beautifully: "You always won hearts with your acting, now you're winning hearts with your habits." This alone sums up the overall sentiment: Shah Rukh Khan's decision hasn't just created news, but has also sparked a movement.
