The
well-connected and well-educated Amisha Patel has an interest in
burning issues. No problem, but must the Gujju actress carry her
anti-smoking stance so far as to think nothing of targetting her
co-stars?
Akshaye
Khanna is one actor who cries "help" at the very sight of
Amisha. On the sets of Abbas Mustan's Humraaz, Khanna, a chain smoker,
was blowing smoke rings while reading a book in a corner.
Amisha, who
wasn't even close by, got so wild that she instantly started lecturing
the poor guy on the ill effects of the cancer stick. A cool as
cucumber Akshaye just smiled through the entire attack but the tirade
did achieve its purpose. Akshaye has vowed never to light a fag in the
presence of Amisha.
Amisha would
do well to remember not all industry males are as affable as Akshaye.
Wonder how a volatile Sanjay Dutt or a temperamental Salman Khan would
have reacted to Amisha's diatribe. Incidentally, she has signed films
opposite both!
