Suniel Shetty says he has never had tobacco in his life: 'People say I am 60, but not old. This is the reason'

Explaining his recent tweet, Suniel Shetty says that he has not had tobacco or alcohol, adding that he refrains from things that happen in the film industry but that does not make him a saint.

Suniel Shetty has said that he has never had tobacco in his life, and he also refrains many other things but that does not mean he is a saint. The actor was speaking at an event. Recently, Suniel had responded to a Twitter user who accidentally tagged him in a tweet criticising advertisement for a tobacco product. ()

Suniel Shetty explains his recent tweet over criticism of tobacco endorsement.

The Twitter user had wrongly tagged Suniel instead of Ajay Devgn while slamming Ajay, Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar for promoting a tobacco brand. Asked about his tweet at a real estate event in Mumbai, Suniel said that he only offered some advice to the Twitter user.

Suniel said, "As far as tobacco goes, I have never had it in my life. People tell me I am 60 but I am not old yet, this is the reason. People also drink alcohol, they may even live longer than me. It is said that tobacco and alcohol sell, therefore those need advertising. I think, those of us who do not want to use it, must refrain from advertising as well. A lot happens in the film industry, I stay away from it."

He added, "That does not mean I am a saint. I am neither God nor a saint, I also have shortcomings. That is why I do not like to comment. But there was a tweet saying India ko bigad rahe ho. I only said change your number (of the glasses) or your glasses. That is the only thing I said and that, too, was only advice. I even addressed him as brother or son. Each one of us, we have our own...I do not eat too much sugar, I do not even eat much. But, I won't say I am right and the others are wrong."
