Shah Rukh Khan, who is particular about every detail of his upcoming superhero film ‘RA. One’, is depressed ever since the song ‘Wanna be my Chammak Challo’ from the film, sung by American R&B singer Akon, has been leaked online. “That was the earlier version of the song. It’s very unfortunate. I am very depressed by that, more depressed than any other news that I have heard. That was the trial version. The original version is with us and I have told everyone to take a little more care,” said Shah Rukh, who plays superhero G.One in the film.

World No Tobacco Day: In Pakistan, the cancer continues to spread
KARACHI:
Farhan, 32, has lost his father and his grandfather to cancer. Both died in their early 50s. Despite this, Farhan smokes nearly two packets a day. “I started when I was barely 13. It was just about being part accepted into the group,” he recalls. “From a cigarette or two I didn’t even realise when I hit the two-packs-a-day mark.”
The National Health Survey of Pakistan says there are 30 million smokers in the country, nearly half of whom are 25 to 44 years old. In Pakistan, smoking mostly leads to cancers of the oral cavity, voice box, lungs and upper digestive tract. “You do not see many oral cancer cases in developed countries any more but it is tenfold and creating havoc in the sub-continent,” says Dr Sameer Qureshi, who is an associate professor for ear, nose and throat and head and neck surgery at Jinnah hospital.
