 |  Jab We Quit After his relationship with Kareena Kapoor went kaput, Shahid Kapur otherwise a teetotaler and non-smoker, in a bid to beat depression, resorted to smoking. Reveals a close friend of Shahid, “Shahid was a complete teetotaler, but he started smoking on the sets of Kismet Connection in Canada after his break-up with Kareena. He was often stressed out and we didn't realise what was wrong with him. Suddenly, we saw him smoking heavily during the shoots. We thought it was work-related stress, but we were worried when we saw that he had become a chain smoker.” After friends advised him about the side-effects, Shahid realised that he was indeed harming himself. Adds our source, “He felt it was wrong of him to smoke because he was sending out wrong signals to his young fans who hold him in high regard. On his birthday last month, Shahid made a resolution to give up smoking completely. It's a relief that in the past few days he hasn't touched a single cigarette. He's also working out rigorously for Ken's untitled film.” Our source says that Shahid realised that a lot had changed in his personal and professional life. Kareena has moved on and so has he. He has accepted things and is happier after Jab We Met was hugely appreciated. He doesn't need cigarettes anymore!” When contacted Abbas Ali, Shahid's trainer and close friend, confirmed, “Shahid is training very hard these days. But a few days back there was something amiss, he was not achieving the desired results. When he asked me what was wrong, I told him that his smoking was causing him much harm. Thank goodness, he kicked off the habit and has stuck to it.” Interestingly, he had started smoking on the sets of Kismet Connection and he has kicked off the habit just before the release of the same film. |
