He is contemplated as the youth icon and his persona is enough to make people go gaga. Many religiously adhere to whatever he says and probably, this was one of the reasons for being a part of the awareness run against drugs.

Reportedly, the 'Dostana' hunk Abhishek Bachchan flagged off the the Awareness Run Against Drug Abuse organised by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Sunday morning as a part of silver jubilee celebrations.

He tweeted about the endeavor on the micro-blogging site Twitter, “Just flagged of a great initiative by the Narcotics Control Bureau - say no to drugs! They're doing great work in helping educate people.”

Talking about the ill-effects of drug assimilation, Junior Bachchan said, “Taking drugs is the most uncool thing to do.”

“It is a great initiative and one should say no to drugs. They (the agency) are doing a great work in helping educate people.

"Sanjay Dutt, who is like one of my family members, is the one who told me about the ill effects of drugs. I also appeal to youth to stay away from the drugs.”
