No crackers for SRK's sake: Jasria

LUDHIANA: Meeting Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has changed 8-year-old Jasria Juneja. Though she is very fond of bursting crackers on Diwali, Jasria was convinced by SRK's message of celebrating it in a safe way, minus the crackers. So, she has resolved to go eco-friendly.
"When we wished Shah Rukh uncle a happy Diwali, he told us that when he was 15 years old he got burnt while bursting a cracker and still has the burn mark.He said, since then he has been extremely scared of crackers and wants everyone to celebrate the festival of lights in a safe way,'' said Jasria, a student of Sat Paul Mittal School. She added that since her mother's favourite actor has advised to stay away from crackers, she will celebrate Diwali in an eco-friendly way from this year on. "I am also requesting all my friends to say no to crackers,'' said Jasria.
