TV actress Sumona Chakravarti who became a household name with her appearances as 'Manju', 'Sarla' and 'Bhuri' in Kapil Sharma's shows 'Comedy Nights With Kapil'(Colors TV) and 'The Kapil Sharma Show'(Sony TV) respectively, shared a very inspiring message on Tuesday night on her Instagram profile and the post is winning the hearts of her fans. The 31 yr old actress revealed that she quit smoking 2 years ago and that "it was difficult as hell". The 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain' fame Sumona, who entered comedy with 'Comedy Circus'(Kahani Comedy Circus Ki) in which she was paired with Kapil, also explains why is she sharing this on social media, saying- "Because being an actor is a part of my life. People follow us. Like us. Love us. Criticise us. Admire us. Hopefully with this i can inspire a few".  Well, now the post is also reminding people of Priyanka Chopra's latest viral pics from her Birthday celebration in which she was spotted smoking on a yacht with husband Nick Jonas and mother Madhu Chopra. Peecee was trolled heavily for the same too.


Sumona shared a picture of a cigarette butt put out with text "I Quit, Did you?" and wrote a long caption alongside which reads - "2 Years Ago! the week following a dear friend’s bday... I QUIT.  Simply went cold turkey. No nicotine patch, no vape. Nothing. Haven’t touched since then. Was it difficult, hell yeah. But now my body rejects smoke. Cant stand in a room where ppl are smoking anymore. . “It is so hard to leave- Until you leave.
And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world” - John Green ."

She further writes why she chose to share this information with her followers on both Twitter and Instagram.

Her caption further reads - "Why am i sharing this? Because being an actor is a part of my life. People follow us. Like us. Love us. Criticise us. Admire us. Hopefully with this i can inspire a few. The most important reminder being we are all flawed human beings which is quite non existent on social media. So here’s a small dose of reality. #soonerthebetter #itsnevertoolate#allthatglittersisnotgold"

Her caption to the same message she posted on Twitter read - "Kicked the butt[No smoking emoji]"

While everyone is lauding her for quitting smoking, many also put down their stories sharing how tough it was or how they still struggle to finally give up the habit. And then there are those who are wishing that Priyanka Chopra also takes a lesson from Sumona's post. Priyanka, who last year had shared an ad campaign where she was seen talking about how asthma did not stop her from achieving the highs in her career, was trolled for her smoking picture.

While Peecee is seen smoking a cigarette, husband Nick and Mom Madhu are seen enjoying a cigar.

And why only Priyanka! There are other Bollywood celebrities who are chain-smokers too, Shah Rukh Khan being the Badshah of it. If we must hope, must hope for others to get inspiration from Sumona too.
