Kamal Haasan quit smoking for Lip-lock scenes
Southern superstar Kamal Haasan who is working hard to release his magnum opus 'Vishwaroopam 2' soon, has revealed that he had started smoking at a young age of 11. But the star actor had quit smoking due to various reasons and one among those that top the list are the lip lock scenes that he had to do in his films.
Recalling the days of his younger age, Kamal Haasan said that he had quit smoking considering the plight of his heroines that he had to kiss in lip lock scenes which were common in his movies. "Imagine the plight of the heroines if I had to kiss them in the evening time of shoot after having all the coffee through the day along with the smoking," he said.
On a funny yet serious note the living legend and superstar also urged youngsters to quit smoking atleast for their girl friends and wifes considering this aspect.
