Shahid Kapoor & Sonam Kapoor Named Hottest Vegetarian Celebrities For 2016 By PETA India!

Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor have been named 'Hottest Vegetarian Celebrities' for 2016 by animal rights organisation PETA India. Shahid and Sonam beat a strong group of competitors, including megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut, Vidyut Jammwal, R Madhavan and Sunny Leone.

This was decided via a poll wherein visitors to PETAIndia 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.

Shahid Kapoor also 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."

Shahid Kapoor, who welcomed his first child with Mira Rajput in September, says he is "very happy being a vegetarian," and "I believe that it is the best way to be," he added. Also, the United Nations report concluded that a global shift towards a plant-based diet is necessary to combat the worst effects of climate change.
