Smoking in public places, especially in hotels and restaurants is strictly prohibited not just in Berlin but in other German states as well.
There are 'No Smoking' signs and warnings that the offender would be fined if caught smoking, put up everywhere.
Bending rules
However, the rules have been bent for Shah Rukh Khan, who is shooting in Berlin for Farhan Akhtar's Don 2. The actor can smoke at the Hotel Mandala on Potsdamer Platz for the entire duration of his stay there. It has been two months since he began shooting there.
Recently, a German magazine carried a report about the general manager of the hotel giving Shah Rukh special permission to flout the norms.
A special exception was made for Suite 1107, where Shah Rukh will stay till the end of November. The actor has also been provided an ashtray to make sure he doesn't damage the carpeting and linen in his suite on the 11th floor of the hotel. The rate of the room is Rs 113,960 per night.
