Popular television personality Abhinav Shukla, known for his love of nature trekking and picturesque vacations, recently shared a deeply personal milestone on his Instagram. The actor, who is gearing up for fatherhood, candidly revealed his triumphant journey to quit smoking, a decision hailed as ‘brave’ by his wife, Rubina Dilaik.
In a heartfelt video, Abhinav reflects on his past as a smoker in 2012 and the pivotal choice to break free from the habit. He details the challenges faced during his three previous attempts to quit and highlights Rubina’s strong aversion to smoking. Abhinav takes a principled stand against common practices like the ‘5-minute smoke break’ during tea and recounts instances of people missing flights due to smoking habits. He earnestly encourages everyone to embark on the journey to quit smoking.
Abhinav’s Instagram post reads, ”Ist Best Decision revealed! I was a smoker for 3 years; I quit cold turkey in 2012. The 2nd best decision would not have been possible if the 1st didn’t happen. Ruby hates smoking and smokers. I had 2 failed attempts at quitting, but the 3rd was final! Mountaineering, rock climbing, and trekking would not have been pleasurable if I continued that bad habit! #quitsmoking”
Abhinav’s story serves as an inspiration for those looking to embrace a healthier lifestyle, emphasizing the transformative power of personal choices.
