Amid this, we bring an interesting anecdote of Aamir when he sought advice from Shah Rukh Khan regarding smoking.

Earlier in 2018, during an interview with Mid-Day, Aamir recalled, how he was wondering if he could smoke infront of Amitabh Bachchan on the set of Thugs of Hindostan.

Aamir turned to SRK seeking advice as the Jawan star was then addicted to smoking and had worked with Big B in Mohabbatein and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

The Laal Singh Chaddha actor was quoted as saying, "Shah Rukh told me, 'Amit ji is cool, you can smoke in front of him. If he scolds you, just run away.' Next thing you know, Amit ji and I are watching Wonder Woman during the shoot in Malta and he tells me, 'I heard you asked Shah Rukh if you can smoke in front of me.' I didn't know how to react. But Amitji was cool."

Notably, Aamir Khan quit his bad habit even before his condition was fulfilled.

Making the announcement, he said, "I have given up smoking, smoking is something I love very much and it's something I enjoy. Kya bolun, sach baat hai yeh, jhooth toh bol nahi sakta. Itne saalo se main cigarette pee rha that, ab pipe peeta hu (what can I say, it's the truth, I can't lie. I've been smoking cigarettes for years, now I smoke a pipe). Tobacco is something I enjoy. It's not good for health. Kisi ko nahi karna chahiye (No one should do it)."

Further, he added, "Mujhe lagta tha mujhe chodna bhi hai, mere bete ka career shuru ho raha hai. Maine apne dil mein ek mannat mangi. Mein chod raha hoon, chahe chale ya na chale, mein apni taraf se ek cheez kar raha hoon (I felt I wanted to quit, my son's career is starting too. I made a resolve in my heart. I'm quitting, whether it (Junaid's next film) works or not, I'm doing this independent of that)."

"As a father, I wanted to sacrifice. Aur kahin universe mein ja ke uska kuchh ho (Hope it does something somewhere in the universe),” he added.
