Now, will Aamir Khan stub out the cigarette!

Anticipation and nervousness before the release of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na had made Aamir Khan return to the killer habit of smoking.

Aamir hasn’t been able to keep off the cancer stick for long since he last stubbed it out in January this year. Last year, before the release of his directorial debut Taare Zameen Par in December, Aamir had candidly confessed to have resumed smoking out of anxiety and nervousness. He had promised to quit the habit from 1st January 2008.

But the superstar wasn’t able to keep his promise and continued to puff away a few weeks into January until finally kicking the habit in the third week.

Recently, Aamir had again frankly confessed to have resumed smoking. This time before the release of ‘Jaane Tu’. He had also revealed that his family members were “kicking the shit” out of him for having taken to the habit again.

But now that ‘Jaane Tu’ has released and has met with a fabulous response from the audience, will Aamir Khan stub the cigarette again?

According to a friend close to the actor: “Aamir is known for keeping his word. But he will do it at his own chosen time.”

However, the thing is that even if Aamir sticks to his word and quits smoking, his forthcoming film Ghajini (Hindi) will near its release date in a few months time and the star would be a bundle of nerves again and might again reach out for the cancerous stick.

That’s like going in smoke circles.
