SRK now says he doesn't endorse public smoking

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan took a U-turn from his earlier stand on the issue of public smoking, saying he was impressed by Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss' concern over public health.
Ramadoss had also advised King Khan not to smoke in public, saying that such behaviour by icons has a strong impact on teenagers.
"It is just a misinterpretation that I snubbed the Health Minister. I am very impressed with the fact that he wants me not to smoke. Even, I too want to quit smoking in my real life (not reel life)," Khan said.
The superstar had recently said in an interview that he did not like anyone telling him what to do and what not to.
"I do not endorse smoking and I do not like anyone telling me personally what to do and what not to do," Khan had told a private news channel.
