Devgan kicks butt
12 March 2008
The chain-smoking actor did it, but couldn’t keep the f*gs away
A family from Ghaziabad has managed to pull off what Ajay Devgan’s family couldn’t they made the chain smoker not touch his pack of cigarettes for a while!
Sad truth
The actor can’t do without his pack even for a second. In B-Town, Shah Rukh Khan and Devgan are known for continuously puffing away. A minute’s break during the shoot means reaching out for the sticks. Devgan, who turns director with U Me Aur Hum, has repeatedly maintained that when it comes to smoking, no one can tell him anything.
Halt for health
But on Sunday, while shooting at Film City for the Zee show Rock N Roll Family, he was stopped in his tracks. Contestants Rohit and Tanvi Jain along with their family put together an act based on the theme of ‘Smoking Is Injurious To Health’.
Their performance moved Devgan to such an extent that he did not light up for quite a while! Ironically, the song they danced on was Beedi Jalai Le from his film Omkara.
Devgan, along with Kajol and Tanuja, is judging the dance show that has contestants from different generations of a family performing.
Set tales
According to an onlooker, “The shoot began at 11 am and went on till 5 pm. Usually, Ajay keeps on puffing and Kajol repeatedly tells him to keep away when he smokes. Ajay was touched at the effort put in by the contestants and for some time, he did stop smoking. Both Kajol and Tanuja were pleasantly surprised by this gesture.”
A source close to Devgan confirmed the incident and said, “It was a very unusual experience to see Ajay not smoking for nearly a day, leave alone a few hours. He makes it a point not to smoke at home; when he wants a puff, he goes out in the garden of his Juhu bungalow and takes a drag.”
