Bollywood actors Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor have been named hottest vegetarian celebrities for 2016 by animal rights organisation Peta India.
Kapoor and Sonam beat out actors Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut, Vidyut Jammwal, R Madhavan and Sunny Leone. This was decided via a poll wherein visitors to PETAIndia.com cast their votes.
“Sonam and Shahid are fit, hot, and compassionate, and they’re setting a great example for their fans and millions of people who want to fight climate change with their forks”, said Sachin Bangera, Peta India’s associate director of celebrity and public relations.
Kapoor said in a statement: “What has happened now is that I’ve stopped taking milk and milk products. I am lacto-sensitive. A lot of people are lacto-sensitive. But they don’t realise it. I love chicks, pigs, cows, fish, and all the other animals, too. That’s why I turned vegetarian.”
The actor, who welcomed his first child with wife Mira Rajput in September, says he is “very happy being a vegetarian”.
“I believe that it is the best way to be,” he added.
