The official reason given for the postponement of the Guzaarish trailer is the time factor. Official sources say there’s still quite some time before Guzaarish releases. However the real story is that there are some concerns over a sequence showing Aishwarya Rai Bachchan puffing away frantically at a cigarette in the trailer. While smoking is not entirely prohibited in our films, it is certainly seen to be injurious to health, especially since the one smoking on the screen is global icon playing a nurse. Says a source close to the film, “Aishwarya rai is not really smoking in Guzaarish. It’s a very cute funny and a very beautiful sequence where she is trying to smoke when she doesn’t know how to.”
