The news of Bollywood’s latest heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor’s defeat in a bet with director Anurag Basu and in result the actor has quit smoking has attracted attentions of many. Like Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor too a chain smoker. And in recent time, both the actors have fined for smoking open in public. Any way if the news is proved to be a real one, like millions of Ranbir’s fans, I too will be very happy.
But before that better let you know about the interesting happening which I collected after going through so many news articles written on this matter. Yes as I first informed you that Ranbir and director Anurag Basu had a bet while shooting ‘Barfi’; the bet was if the film crossed Rs 70 crore businesses, then Ranbir would give up smoking for ever. And it’s quite interesting to know that the bet proposal was first thrown by none but the ‘Rockstar’ Ranbir. Actually Ranbir had a doubt about how much ‘Barfi’ can collect. And Anurag Basu, who often during shooting convinced him for quitting his bad habit, when Ranbir threw the challenge, he didn’t waste time to accept it. Perhaps Ranbir has some other thought in his mind. He thought that ‘Barfi’ could hardly cross the 70 crore mark and he wouldn’t have to quit smoking. But as per latest, ‘Barfi’ has collected 75 crores in its first ten days itself so Ranbir, being a gentleman, had no way but to give up smoking. I came to know that director Anurag Basu has confirmed the development mentioning the text message sent to him by Ranbir saying that he has quit smoking. So great gesture, no!
