Referred to as Bollywood’s Badshaah, Shah Rukh Khan turned 59 on November 2 this year. The actor’s smoking habits are not unknown since SRK himself once revealed smoking up to 100 cigarettes in a day. While interacting with his fans during a meet and greet on his birthday, he revealed that he has finally quit smoking for better health.

In a video that is going viral on social media, SRK is seen sharing his latest lifestyle update, where he shared that he has quit smoking. He also shared how he thought quitting smoking might not make him feel breathless, but it does. “Mujhe laga tha ki I will not feel so breathless, but abhi bhi feel kar raha hu (I thought I wouldn’t feel breathless after quitting smoking, but I still do),” SRK said.

Reasons why one feels breathless after they quit smoking

If you have been a smoker for many years of your life, quitting it will have a few natural reactions on your body. Your body will take some time to get accustomed to getting rid of a habit. Once a person quits smoking, their body automatically enters the self-repair phase, which is why one might feel breathless. It is just an effect of the healing process.

After quitting, your lungs start to repair themselves, which includes increased mucus production to clear out tar and toxins. This excess mucus can make you feel congested and short of breath. Although there are many effects seen in the body after one decides to quit smoking, here are three main reasons why breathlessness occurs.

Nicotine withdrawal

Nicotine withdrawal can cause anxiety, restlessness, and a heightened awareness of breathing, sometimes leading to a feeling of breathlessness, even if your lungs are actually improving. Nicotine affects dopamine levels in the brain, which play a big role in mood regulation. When you stop smoking, dopamine levels drop, making you feel irritable, frustrated, or anxious.

Breathing pattern changes

Some people change their breathing patterns without realising it. People who have smoked for a long time might begin shallow breathing and become more aware of their breathing, which might lead to making them feel breathless. Breathing patterns might vary when someone stops smoking because of changes in both physical and psychological factors. Over time, smoking changes a person’s breathing patterns, so it takes time for their body and mind to adapt.

Feeling anxious might lead to shortness of breath

Anxiety and shortness of breath often go hand in hand, especially after quitting smoking. Anxiety often leads to shallow, rapid breathing (chest breathing), which can cause an imbalance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body, leading to lightheadedness and a feeling of shortness of breath.

Quitting smoking can be a difficult journey, but it can be the best decision you take for your health. Breathing exercises and physical activities can help with battling the withdrawal symptoms.

Actors Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala are set to tie the knot soon, and they have officially kickstarted their wedding festivities. The couple got engaged on August 8 in Hyderabad after dating for over two years, and they are now ready to take the plunge.

On Monday, Sobhita took her fans by surprise as she shared photos from her traditional Pasupu Danchadam ceremony. The ritual marks the onset of wedding festivities, and during it, married women in the family come together and grind turmeric in a mortar as it is considered auspicious

Sobhita looked gorgeous as a Telugu bride in a traditional orange saree with green and golden border. She completed her look with minimalistic gold jewellery and green bangles. She was seen participating in the ritual and sharing a hearty laugh with the female members of her family.

She also sought blessings from the Lord and the elders by touching their feet. “Godhuma Raayi Pasupu danchatam…And so it begins!” Sobhita wrote along with the photos.

While the exact wedding date of the couple is not known yet, reports stated a few days ago that the two have booked a palatial hotel in Rajasthan for the D-day.

Chaitanya and Sobhita got engaged in a hush-hush ceremony on August 8 this year in Hyderabad, in the presence of their family members. Post the engagement, Chaitanya’s father, Nagarjuna, had shared, “Only the immediate family was there… Sobhita’s parents and sister. Chay’s mother was there, of course. My wife, Amala, was there. That’s it. We chose this day because it is very auspicious. Both families consulted the Nakshatras, and when we were told August 8 was a very auspicious day, we decided to go ahead with it.”

Chaitanya was earlier married to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, however, they announced their divorce in 2021 after four years of marriage. It was in 2022 that rumours of Chaitanya dating Sobhita first surfaced online
