Aasif Khan
has quit smoking after suffering a heart attack. Through his latest social media post, Aasif revealed that he has not smoked for the last 21 days.
Sharing the happy news with his buddies on the occasion of Friendship Day, he wrote, "Log kehte hain 21 din me har acchi buri aadat chhut jaati hai, today it's been 21 days since i quit smoking its friendship day today to mujhe laga isse best day kya ho sakta hai apne dosto se me kitna pyar karta hoon ye batane k liye, zindagi me utaar chadav aate rehte hain lekin chadav me apke sath ek hujum chalta hai.

It's Friendship Day, and I thought — what better day than today to express how much I love my friends. Life is full of ups and downs, but during the highs, there's always a crowd around you — a flood of people, a sea of faces. But to those who stood by me during the lows — Happy Friendship Day to all of you).
Aasif Encourages Fans to Quit Smoking
He also urged everyone to stop playing with their health before they end up in a hospital bed, just like him.
Sharing his personal experience, Aasif added, "Apni galtiyo ka ehsas karne k liye sahi logo ki pehchan karne k liye kisi hospital k bed pe jaane ka intezar mat kijiye, is bade bade shehro ki badi badi baato me mat kho jao apna sahaj apna sadharan apni saralta apne sath chalne do, chay pe raho logo ko dekh k black coffee pe mat jao, dosto se roz milo, zindagi k saude 20-30 rupay ki chizo se mat karo !!! bas bad me shayad kabhi hasunga ye baate padh k.

(Don't wait until you're lying in a hospital bed to realise your mistakes or to recognise the people who truly care about you. Don't get lost in the big talk of big cities. Let your simplicity, your humility, your true self walk beside you. Stick to tea if that's what you like — don't switch to black coffee just to fit in. Meet your friends often. Don't trade your life away for things worth 20 or 30 rupees. Maybe someday I'll laugh while reading this… but not today.)"
Wishing all a Happy Friendship Day, he concluded, "Happy Friendship day mere saare jigar k tukdo ko mere yaaro ko mere dosto ko."
Health Scare
Back in June, the 'Paatal Lok' actor suffered a major health scare. However, sharing his health update with the netizens, Aasif revealed that he is doing better now and is on the road to recovery.
"Over the past few hours, I've been dealing with some health issues that required hospitalisation. I'm grateful to share that I'm now on the road to recovery and feeling much better," he shared.

Warriors! KL Rahul's powerful post for two gutsy players goes viral
KL Rahul (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: India's stylish opener KL Rahul shared a heartwarming tribute on Instagram for close friend Rishabh Pant and England's veteran pacer Chris Woakes , applauding both for redefining the standards of the game through their remarkable commitment and willingness to battle through pain for their countries. Rahul posted a collage featuring Pant and Woakes bravely stepping up to bat in critical moments and captioned it: "Warriors. Defining courage and love for this sport." India vs England Day 5: Can India do the UNTHINKABLE at The Oval? Four wickets and 2-2! Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Pant, India's vice-captain, shrugged off a finger injury concern from the third Test and walked in to bat under overcast skies in Manchester during the fourth Test. In the 68th over on Day 1, he attempted a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes and took a painful blow to the foot. His foot swelled instantly, and blood was visible as he removed his boot. Clearly in agony, Pant retired hurt on 37 off 54 balls and had to leave the field on a golf buggy. But on Day 2, with India struggling at 314/6, Pant stunned everyone. With a heavily bandaged foot, the southpaw returned to bat, drawing a loud ovation from the Old Trafford crowd. He kissed the ground, soaked in the atmosphere, and soon began entertaining with his trademark flair. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

He injured his left shoulder on Day 1 while diving to stop a boundary. Three days later, with England just 17 runs away from chasing down 374 and down to their last wicket, Woakes emerged from the dressing room with his left arm in a sling, tucked under his jumper, to join Gus Atkinson at the crease. Though he didn't face a ball, Woakes ran between the wickets in visible pain, grimacing with each effort. His brave stand ended when Mohammed Siraj bowled Atkinson, sealing India's dramatic six-run win. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

'Malegaon Files' film announced based on 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case, Rajiv S Ruia to direct
'Malegaon Files' film announced based on 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case, Rajiv S Ruia to direct A film based on the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case has been announced and has been titled 'Malegaon Files'. 'My Friend Ganesha' fame director Rajiv S Ruia will be directing the film, which is currently in the pre-production stage. The cast and crew of the movie have not been revealed yet by the makers. The film will be produced by Sahil Seth under the banner of Cinedust 18 Films Pvt. Ltd. According to a press note shared by the makers, the film aims to present a gripping and sensitive portrayal of the 2008 Malegaon bomb blasts, which shook the nation and led to a long, complicated legal battle. "This is not just a story about a blast -- it's about what followed. The human stories, the political shadow, the search for truth, and the emotional and legal turmoil faced by the accused and the victims' families. 'Malegaon Files' is our attempt to bring that reality to the screen," director Rajiv S Ruia, said about the film in the press note. Ruia told that the film is currently in the pre-production stage and will be shot on real locations. "Our writer team is in talks. It is a very sensitive subject. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Health: the best shoes to walk and stand all day Ultra-Comfortable Shoes Undo Every detail behind it needs to be brought out. Research is going on...99 per cent we will shoot on real locations. We will do recce soon," he said. According to the press note, the makers stated that the script is being developed with inputs from investigative reports, court documents, and real testimonies to ensure that the narrative remains grounded and respectful. The film is slated to go on floors by late 2025, with more details about the cast and shooting schedule expected to be revealed soon. The Malegaon blast tragedy took place on September 29, 2008 in which six people were killed and 95 others injured when an explosive device strapped to a motorcycle detonated near a mosque in Malegaon City's Bhikku Chowk. Originally, 11 people were accused in the case; however, the court ultimately framed charges against 7, including former MP Sadhvi Pragya. The Mumbai NIA court on July 31 acquitted all seven accused of being involved in the 2008 blasts in Malegaon, with the court saying the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond a reasonable doubt. The 2008 Malegaon blast case was transferred to the NIA in 2011 from the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS). After a 17-year-long wait and examination of hundreds of witnesses, the NIA special court acquitted all seven people accused under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Arms Act and all other charges.
