Aishwarya Rai smoking in 'Guzaarish': Doctors protest for Youth

Aishwarya Rai smoking in 'Guzaarish': Doctors protest for Youth: A lot of posters showing Aishwarya smoking are being used to promote the film that’s slated to release on Friday. The medical community thinks these images give a wrong message to the youth who are most likely to imitate the Bollywood stars.

To show their protest, the members of Doctors For You, which is a non-profit organization, will wear black badges on Friday, the day Guzaarish releases. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has rubbished the reports about Ash turning a smoker for the film.

He says the scene shows Ash trying to smoke but coughing in pain after just one drag from the cigarette. So, according to him, in no way does the scene endorse smoking.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Smoking not a big deal

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Smoking not a big deal: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a dedicated actress and can go to any extent for her role.

This was enunciated in a scene in GUZAARISH where she was required to smoke.


Here the scene required Aishwarya to smoke and in a fun manner.

It shows her with Hrithik Roshan in a car. Aishwarya takes a puff and immediately starts coughing. Hrithik cannot stop himself from laughing, which gets Ash giggling too.

The 36-year-old actress has never smoked in her life so it was a first for her but she indeed pulled it off very well. And the scene has come out perfect, just what the doctor ordered!
