Shahrukh smoking in Wankhede Stadium

Anbumani Ramadoss wil get more reason to rage against celebrities smoking in public places. But a stressed Shahrukh Khan was not having worried less about the Union Health Minister's feelings on Friday evening. He had enough of his own as, one after the other, the batsmen of his IPL team Kolkata Knightriders made a quick exit from the crease at a crowded Wankhede stadium and were bagged out for the lowest total yet in the tournament.
From the start, it seemed as if only one team was celebrating, and after Salman Butt, Aakash Chopra and David Hussey were out in rapid series, nervous SRK surreptitiously lit his first cigarette to avoid being shattered by the paparazzi.
Barely had he finished smoking his first cigarette, when Mohd Hafeez was caught, forcing him to light another one, and as Wriddhiman Saha was hacked into Tendulkar's hands, SRK was anxious enough to pull one more out of the bag. The only hope left was Ganguly. But when he too notched to the keeper, SRK perhaps knew his team had little chance. So cigarette number four came out and was smoked in full public view. SRK, clearly, was more worried about his team than about Mr Ramadoss's thoughts.
