Panchayat Actor Aasif Khan Quits Smoking After Health Scare, Shares Update: ‘I'm Much Better'
Last Updated: Aasif Khan, known for his roles in Panchayat and Mirzapur, was hospitalized last month. He revealed that it has been 21 days since he quit smoking. Actor Aasif Khan, known for his roles in the web series 'Pataal Lok' and 'Panchayat,' was admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai last month. While it was earlier reported that he suffered a heart attack, he later clarified it was actually gastroesophageal reflux disease, which caused heart attack-like symptoms. Now, nearly three weeks after the health scare, Aasif shared that he has quit smoking and hasn't had a cigarette in 21 days. He shared a few pictures from the hospital, which left fans wondering if he was still admitted. However, he clarified that he has returned home and shared a health update, saying he is much better now and feeling stronger. On Sunday, Aasif Khan shared a series of pictures from the hospital. He wrote, 'Log kehte hain 21 din me har acchi buri aadat chhut jaati hai , today its 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….logo ka sailaab bheed , lekin utaar me jo sath rahe un sabko happy friendship day (They say it takes 21 days for every good or bad habit to break. Today marks 21 days since I quit smoking. It's Friendship Day today, and I thought, what better day than this to tell my friends how much I love them. Life keeps bringing ups and downs, but in the highs, your support marches like a flood… a crowd of people. But in the lows, those who stay with you—happy Friendship Day to all of them)." He further reflected on his recent health scare, and urged people not to wait to be hospitalized to realize their mistakes, or to recognize true friends. He wrote, '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 (Meet your friends every day. Don't make life's deals over things worth 20-30 rupees !!! Maybe someday, I'll laugh reading these words)." Aasif Khan's Health Update Lastly, sharing a health update, he wrote, 'Ps – i am at home , much better much stronger ,ye photo purani hai !!" Earlier, in a conversation with ETimes, Aasif said that the doctors have advised him to change his diet and avoid certain food types. Additionally, he has been advised to exercise more. 'I've been told to stop eating dal baati, limit my non-veg, and work out more. I don't think it should impact my work. Something or the other happens in everyone's life. People move on," he said. Who Is Aasif Khan? Aasif portrayed Ganesh in The Viral Fever's 'Panchayat' on Prime Video, the much-loved comedy series featuring Jitendra Kumar, Raghubir Yadav, Neena Gupta.

Anupam Kher once couldn't pay a dhaba bill and had to leave his brother with them
Long before he was a globally recognised actor, Anupam Kher experienced the kind of struggles that shaped not just his career but his outlook on life. Kher opened up about a moment from his early days in Mumbai that left a lasting impression on him—a moment that combined ambition, naivety, and a sharp reality check at a local dhaba. In a candid interview with News18 Showsha, Kher was accompanied by his brother and a friend to a dhaba in Hirad Nagar after a televised play of his had aired on Doordarshan. Riding high on the appreciation from the dhaba owner, who recognised him and predicted a successful future for the young actor, Kher let the praise influence his decisions. Initially planning to order modestly, he instead called for chicken and beer.

He had only Rs 1 in his pocket. Despite his attempts to assure the dhaba owner that he would one day be a successful man, the owner remained firm, stating that appreciation and business are two separate matters and the bill had to be paid. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo Turning Embarrassment Into a Life Lesson To resolve the situation, Kher left his brother and friend behind at the dhaba as assurance and rushed to a nearby friend's home to borrow Rs 100. Reflecting on the incident, he said he has always chosen to see the humour in hardship. Instead of viewing the moment with shame, he embraced it as a defining experience, noting that self-worth shouldn't be dictated by temporary financial struggles. Kher admitted that even without external judgment, there is often an internal sense of inadequacy during such tough times, especially in an industry that often equates success with wealth and glamour. But finding comedy in the struggle helped him survive emotionally and mentally. Embracing Imperfection Through Art and Life Kher's ability to accept imperfections—both his own and those around him—has also informed his recent creative work. Promoting his book Different, but No Less and his directorial film Tanvi The Great, he spoke about portraying autism not as a disability but as a unique strength. According to him, the constant pressure to appear perfect on social media platforms often creates a false standard of happiness, leading many to feel inadequate. His character Tanvi, he explained, represents purity and honesty, traits untainted by ambition or manipulation. Kher acknowledged that since the character originated from his own mind, it gave him hope that such qualities might reside within him as well.

When Anupam Kher had only Rs 1, ordered chicken and beer anyway: Actor recalls his funniest life lesson
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Before the fame and global acclaim, Anupam Kher was just another struggling artist in Mumbai—armed with hope, friends, and exactly one rupee. In a candid interview with News18 Showsha, the veteran actor recalled a hilarious incident from his early days. He had gone to a dhaba with his brother and a friend after a play of his aired on Doordarshan. 'The owner praised my work and said I'd become a big actor. I got carried away and started ordering chicken and beer,' Anupam Kher shared in the interview. The bill came to Rs 97. But Anupam Kher, with just Rs 1 in his pocket, had a rude awakening. 'I told the owner, 'Main kabhi bada aadmi banunga,' and he calmly said, 'Tareef apni jagah hai, business apni jagah hai. Paise toh bharne padenge.'' 'That's how I survived' Realizing he couldn't pay, Anupam Kher left his brother and friend at the dhaba as 'collateral' and rushed to a friend's house nearby to borrow Rs 100. 'I remember that day so vividly. But I wrote about it in a humorous way. That's how I survived—I saw the comedy in hardship,' he said.

'You don't need to feel small just because your bank balance is. It's your attitude that counts.' Why 'Not Okay' can be powerful Promoting his new book 'Different, but No Less' and his film 'Tanvi The Great', Anupam Kher opened up about portraying autism as a superpower. 'We are constantly made to feel inadequate—through social media, comparison, and perfection. But it's okay to be 'not okay',' he said. Describing Tanvi, his character, Anupam Kher noted, 'She's pure. No ambition. No manipulation. But because she comes from me, maybe those qualities are somewhere inside me too.' Anupam Kher's directorial features the actors Shubhangi Dutt, Iain Glen, Boman Irani, and Karan Tacker in important roles.
