A adolescent in hyderabad had serious cough and throat soreness issues after smoking a pack of cigarettes for the first time, necessitating medical intervention. Doctors at Century Hospital, the city's premier multi-specialty healthcare facility, revealed on saturday that they had successfully treated a teenager who had smoked cigarettes and been very ill after being inspired by "Rocky Bhai," a character from the kgf film series. The youngster required prompt medical attention as well as strong counseling to help him recover from the effects of smoking cigarettes.
The 15-year-old boy, who lives in Rajendranagar in hyderabad and whose name has been changed to protect his identity, was transported to Century Hospital after his parents discovered that he had smoked a package of cigarettes after seeing KGF2 three times in two days. The child saw the movie in the second week of its theatrical release and was inspired by the "style" of the lead character, 'Rocky Bhai,' and wanted to imitate him by smoking for the first time, only to become gravely ill as a result, according to hospital officials.
Dr rohith reddy Pathuri, Consultant Pulmonologist at Century Hospital, commented on the case: "Characters like 'Rocky Bhai' have a strong influence on teenagers. In this example, a young boy began smoking and became very ill after smoking an entire pack of cigarettes. Movies have a significant influence on our society, and it is critical that filmmakers and actors do not glamorize harmful behaviors such as smoking, chewing tobacco, or consuming alcohol. Young minds are impacted by the actions of these demigods on TV, and characters like 'Rocky Bhai' have a cult following."
