New Delhi: The Union Health minister Ramadoss has been known for taking on Bollywood stars, however, this time a celebrity is backing him and it is none other than yoga guru, Baba Ramdev himself.

It seems that Ramadoss and Baba Ramdev have joined hands in their battle against tobacco, alcohol and chips.

Ramadoss has already ruffled many feathers in Bollywood with his campaign against smoking, alcohol and junk food.

“It is just cinema. We should not have huge censorship on what to do and what not to do in cinema,” says actor Shah Rukh Khan.

In nearly the same tone, actor Saif Ali Khan who also endorses the famous Lays chips says, “I ask the gentlemen with great respect to take it easy because eating junk food and chips is part of life.”

“What he should really do, I think, is to do something about the fake medicines,” says actress Sharmila Tagore.

Meanwhile, Ramadoss seems to bring some of Baba Ramdev's yoga in his battle against celebrities promoting evil products.

However, what is sure to bring joy to the Health Minister is the enthusiasm displayed by Baba Ramdev.

“It is scientifically proven that alcohol, tobacco and junk food such as burgers, pizza etc are poisonous for a human being's body. I hail the Health Minister’s drive against junk food,” says Baba Ramdev.

Ramadoss impressed with Baba Ramdev’s yoga says, “He's doing fantastic work in propagating Yoga and we'll be supporting him.”

Promoting Baba Ramdev's yoga to purge the society of all evils, Ramadoss says, “I am going to meet the HRD minister Shri Arjun Singh on this issue of making yoga mandatory in all schools.”

However, it seems the Health Minister obviously isn't aware of the fact that Yoga has already been included in the NCERT curriculum by the HRD ministry after the new National Curriculum Framework of 2005 made the recommendation.
