Bollywood divas who smoke

We’ve always known about the Bollywood heroes who smoke, but did you know that there are a few among the heroines as well? Many of these gorgeous actresses cannot go a day without puffing on some cigarettes. Their curves and moves may be impressive, but such a habit can do nothing but blot their image. Here are a few Bollywood divas that are renowned for their smoking habits:

Kangana Ranaut

Bollywood diva Kangana Ranaut has been seen on-screen as a smoker and that is how you may have perceived her as well. Well, you are right. She is a chain smoker off-screen as well. Kangana is so addicted to smoking that she even went against the smoking ban claiming that it is a personal choice and should never be banned.

Sushmita Sen

Former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen may be one of the most successful faces in the industry, but one thing that is absolutely unimpressive is her smoking habit. The actress has been spotted several times smoking in public and she claims that she is trying to quit the habit.

Konkona Sen Sharma

It seems Bong divas of Bollywood have a special inclination towards smoking as the next name to come up in the list is Konkona Sen Sharma. This talented actress is an active smoker and was quoted saying she found it very difficult to resist smoking during her first pregnancy.

Rani Mukherjee

Here is another Bong babe who has impressed us all with her acting skills but not with her personal life choices. She has been facing pressure from her family because of this habit but she still continues.

Manisha Koirala

Here’s one more who you would associate with bad habits. Manisha Koirala’s smoking habit is no secret and she is one of the very few Indian brides we have seen who were spotted smoking on their wedding day!

Bollywood superstars who are chain smokers

Cigarette smoking is considered one of the biggest problems in the country, and most television entities display ads against it. However, it may be awkward to note that our very own Bollywood actors, who we so conveniently have called as ‘heroes’, have been indulging in the habit over the years. Let us look at some.

Shah Rukh Khan

The Baadshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan is a cigarette addict. The superstar has even confessed in an interview that he is a chain smoker and that he just can’t let go of the addiction. His addiction has even got him into trouble a few times but he still hasn’t kicked the butt.

Ajay Devgn

This ‘Action Jackson’ has been impressive on screen but his lifestyle choices will leave many disappointed. Some Bollywood stars like Ajay have a cult-like fan following and they aren’t doing their image any favour by indulging in such habits.

Ranbir Kapoor

This chocolate boy has won millions of hearts in a short span of time with super-hit performances in movies like ‘Barfi’, ‘Ye Jawani Hai Deewani’ and ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’. Ranbir has been the poster boy for youngsters in Bollywood; however his habits have ruined his image. Ranbir is definitely not setting a great example for the crowds that follow him. Apparently, during the shooting of ‘Raajneeti’, Ranbir gave his director Prakash Jha a hell of a time, due to his constant smoke breaks.

Arjun Rampal

With a superhero body and a sculpted face, Arjun has been the dream man for many women in Bollywood. However, his smoking habits may be repulsive for many.

Sanjay Dutt

‘Munna’ has always been in the news for the wrong reasons. With his characters very close to his real life personality, it comes as no surprise that he is a chain smoker.

The real action heroes of Bollywood

When it comes to action, Bollywood does take it to the next level, from high octane fighting scenes to car chases. But when it comes to stars who have a background in the action scenes they are performing, the scenes become more realistic and entertainment. So here we take a look at the real action heroes of Bollywood who have chosen to do their own stunts without using body doubles.
