KARACHI: Salman Khan has decided to stay away from smoking and drinking to become more serious and professional toward his life and work.

A source said, “Salman bhai is in his prime. He is enjoying success like never before and has become extremely disciplined. After his health scare around a year back due to trigeminal neuralgia (nerve pain), Salman does not want to hamper the recovery process any more. That's why he decided that he would quit smoking and drinking.”

The source revealed that it has been nearly five months Khan has not had a cigarette or a drink. He has also reportedly quit partying to stay away from any such bad habits.

“Salman's illness scared everyone around him and his family. He now does not want to do anything that will upset his family members and quitting drinking and smoking is the first step towards that,” the source added.

“Salman is also making sure that he finishes his films as per schedule and is always present on the sets on time. He is also taking keen interest in every aspect of the film making including the promotions which he never did earlier,” the source concluded.
