‘NOTE’ lashes out at Shah Rukh Khan for repeatedly smoking in public

National Organisation of Tobacco Eradication (NOTE) has lashed out at the Shah Rukh Khan for trampling the law.

The superstar, who is often referred to as the King of Bollywood, is under a lot of discussion these days. He was fined for smoking in public not too long ago but the actor repeated the same mistake a few days back, once again during a cricket match in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Keeping Khan’s ignorance in front, this time the General Secretary of NOTE, Shekhar Salkar, has lashed out at him.

Salkar told the media that he is shocked to see Khan’s behaviour. He stated many actors have been pointed out on this issue previously and they never repeated the same mistake but Khan is just trampling the law which is not fair at all.

“My main grievance is his arrogant demeanour with which he time and again decides to trample the law and smoke in places where he can be viewed and emulated by thousands of viewers when he can smoke privately. Habitual offenders should be given harsher punishments and after three monetary fines in increasing levels. A repeat offence should be punishable for at least one day behind the bars.” said NOTE, General Secretary, Shekhar Salkar.

He added, “In my personal opinion he would never be able to because of his all-knowing haughty persona. A similar incident happened with Ajay Devgn in Goa and after sending him a letter, he was very gracious in accepting his mistake and his recent visits to Goa have not seen him smoking in public.”

Rajasthan police recently issued summons at the star’s house to appear before Jaipur Court on May 26 following a complaint by Anand Singh, who is the head of the Jaipur Cricket Academy.

Well, all said and done, SRK has a huge fan following all over the world and his smoking habit can certainly make many of his fans go on the wrong path.
