Bollywood actor Sharukh Khan paid
Rs 100 as fine for smoking at the stadium during an IPL match in May, as per
the Rajasthan court order. Ironically, he paid the fine amount, which is less
than the cost of a cigarette packet.
During a match between Rajasthan
Royals and Kolkata Night Riders in last May at the Swami Man Singh Stadium, the
‘Don’ was seen smoking a cigarette publicly. Under the Rajasthan Prevention of
smoking Act, 2000, smoking in public places is banned in the state.
Hence, when the anti smoking
activists complained, Anand Singh, chairman of JCA (Jaipur Cricket Association)
filed a petition in the court against SRK and the star was asked to appear
before the court on May 26th. After hearing the court found Shahrukh
to be guilty and issued order accordingly.
SRK is a chain smoker, which has
often landed him in trouble for smoking in public. In some earlier occasions
also he has faced embarrassing situations for smoking.
In 2009, when the IPL was shifted
to South Africa, he was seen smoking there at one of the matches and earned
problem.
