Got a light for Ajay Devgan?

People often look upto actors as their idols. It's the audience who makes them or breaks them.



Ajay Devgan has received so much adulation from his fans and the audience. However, these stars often forget that they have some social responsibilities too.

Of and on, we hear of regulations and laws being passed to ban smoking in public places, and recently, the health ministry passed a legislation banning smoking on-screen and in public places, but some of our Bollywood actors are least bothered.

He was recently photographed, smoking at the Chandigarh airport. While the citizens of Chandigarh have taken so much effort to make it a smoking-free city, Mr Devgan, was very conveniently smoking at the airport, where smoking is strictly prohibited.

If celebrities defy rules, how can I expect the public to obey them? Ajay, you are setting a bad example for your fans.

From the fact, that smoking has been banned on screen, Ajay should have understood the gravity of the issue.

Kajol, along with associating yourself with NGOs and other social causes, instilling some sense in your hubby can help the society at large.

Earlier, even Shahrukh Khan smoked in 'Don'. People of all age group look up to him as their role model...his hair style, expressions, actions, and everything. The least that is expected out of them is a little bit of restraint in their action, and some amount of social responsibility.

Films is a popular culture, and impressionable adolescents emulate their on-screen idols in real life.




Shahrukh Khan was captured on camera in full public view at the IPL. Stars like him, holding a cigar, adds a style and glamour element to this fatal substance.

There are other places to d-stress guys. Why smoke in public places, especially in places where it is prohibited?

Refraining from sending out wrong social messages is the least these stars can do to give back to the society, as a mark of gratitude, for all the glory they receive.
