Akshay Sethi quits smoking
Neha Maheshwri, TNN | Jul 5, 2011, 12.00am ISTFormer chain smoker Akshay Sethi of Sasural Genda Phool has quit smoking for good. It's been two months since the actor last puffed a cigarette. He started smoking while in standard nine.
He recently kicked the habit at a friend's insistence, when he told him that the smoke affects the skin. He has vowed never to light up again. Says he, "I realised it's better to quit smoking now than to suffer from its ill-effects later. I have to constantly curb my urge to light up when stressed out. I divert my mind by reading books and watching movies. I have even stopped mingling with my smoking buddies. Chalos, better late than never!
