With obvious comparisons being drawn between Salman Khan's blockbuster, 'Sultan' and Aamir Khan's upcoming, 'Dangal', the anticipation of release has made Aamir Khan a nervous wreck! So much so, that Aamir who had earlier made a conscious effort to kick the butt, seems to have found solace in smoking.
A source close to Aamir, revealed to DNA, “It’s a thing. Before every release, Aamir gets nervous and starts smoking again. It happened during PK, Dhoom 3, Talaash… and it has nothing to do with the quality of the film. The last time he quit the habit was in January this year and since then, he lost 25 kg as he had to get in shape for Dangal. But now, he’s got into the pre-release phase and his nervousness keeps growing. Every time he gets nervous he becomes a full-fledged smoker, puffing at countless cigarettes a day.”
However, Aamir's son, Azad Rao, has definitely made some positive changes in actor's life. As little Azad does not appreciate his father smoking, Aamir has made it a point to not smoke in front of him. The source revealed, "“Azad doesn’t like his dad’s smoking and whenever he sees Aamir puffing away, he tells him to go out of the house or smoke in the balcony. There is no way that Aamir can smoke in front of little Azad. It’s very cute seeing him tell his dad off.”
While Aamir's 'Dangal' releases on 23rd December, we hope that the actor manages to kick the butt soon!
