Earlier, during the 2012 edition of IPL, SRK was yet again spotted while he was smoking during a match between KKR and Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Soon after his photo of him doing the same act surfaced in the media, a complaint was filed against the actor by Anand Singh, who ran a cricket academy in Jaipur. Anand sought action against the actor under the Rajasthan Prohibition of Smoking Act, 2000, which prohibits smoking in public places. To this, the actor then pleaded guilty to the charge of smoking in public during an IPL game and was asked to pay a fine of Rs. 100.

Shah Rukh has, time and again, opened up about his smoking habit and how he tries hard to leave it. Once, while promoting his film, Ra.One, he talked about how his daughter Suhana had scolded him for it. Talking about the same, SRK had said how it feels shameful to deter people from smoking in his films, but they continue to do so in real life. However, he really wants to give it up. Further, elaborating on the incident with his daughter, he shared:
"To stop smoking, you need time. Today, my daughter told me 'Papa, you said you were giving up!', but I really have cut down on it. I smoke only six-seven these days. I hope to cut down further by this month. Like social networking, if I can just become a social smoker."
