Actor Aasif Khan, who is known for his performance in Panchayat, has recently opened up about his health scare. The actor penned a lengthy note on Friendship Day and issued a warning about the dangers of smoking.

He took to his Instagram and shared a series of his photos from a hospital bed and suggested that he has quit smoking. He also clarified that he is feeling much better and stronger now, and the pictures are from the past.

Aasif cited the popular dialogue of Jeetendra Kumar from his TVF series Kota Factory and wrote in the caption, “og kehte hain 21 din me har acchi buri aadat chhut jaati hai, (People say that every good and bad habit can be given up in 21 days), today its been 21 days since i quit smoking.”

He continued, “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.... (Its friendship day, today I thought what can be a better day than this to tell how much I love my friends, there are ups and downs in life but in every ups and downs there is one person who walks with you).”

He further added, “logo ka sailaab bheed… lekin utaar me jo sath rahe un sabko happy friendship day , apni galtiyo ka ehsas karne k liye sahi logo ki pehchan karne k liye kisi hospital k bed pe jaane ka intezar mat kijiye (There was a huge crowd of people... but happy friendship day to all those who were with me in the downfall, don't wait till you are in a hospital bed to realise your mistakes and identify the right people).”

Aasif added, “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 (Don't get lost in the big talks of these big cities, let your understanding, your patience, your efforts go along with you, stay on tea, don't go for black coffee after looking at people).”

“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 friends everyday, don't judge life by things worth 20-30 rupees!!! Maybe I will laugh sometime in the future, after reading these things,” continued Aasif.
