Kareena Kapoor Not Vegetarian: That’s Bull#$*!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 in Actresses, Bollywood.

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor was recently asked about a rumor that since she had a new man in her life, she stopped being vegetarian.

“Bull shit. I am not only a pucca vegetarian but also a teetotaler,” she told Cineviews. A teetotaler is someone who refrains from and promotes the abstinence from alcoholic beverages.

Kareena has quite a way of squashing rumors!

She had dated Shahid Kapoor and during that time they both became vegetarian. Shahid’s recently even gotten his dog involved with the veg life!

She exercises regularly as well, but her routine depends on what character she’s filming.

“I do yoga every day. I also work out every day. Though to get into the skin of my characters in both Golmaal Returns and Salman Khan’s film, I did not need to be like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, I needed to be in total shape for my character in Tashan.”

Read the rest of the interview with Kareena. It’s filled with good stuff and no bull#$*!

Shahid Kapoor’s Dog May Fart Less Due To Vegetarian Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, December 6th, 2008 in Actors, Bollywood, Food & Drink.

Following the trends of Alicia Silverstone and Paul McCartney, a Bollywood actor has decided to put his puppy on a vegetarian diet.

Shahid Kapoor is a vegetarian Bollywood babe who once dated fellow Bollywood babe Karena Kapoor, also vegetarian.

According to Bollywood Celeb Den, a source revealed that, “Shahid has put his doggie on a veg diet. The poor animal is not allowed to eat any sort of meat!” And not even the bone.

While the source may feel sorry for this dog, we know he or she is getting the good stuff! And like Alicia Silverstone’s dogs, he’s probably not farting nearly as much as before. The dog, that is. We can’t speak for Shahid.

Amitabh Bachchan Urged To Remove Meat From Live Earth Menu

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, November 27th, 2008 in Actors, Bollywood, Food & Drink.

An Evening With Amitabh Bachchan

Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan has been urged to only serve vegetarian food at India’s Live Earth festival on December 7th, 2008. Bachchan is the spokeman for this year’s event.

Live Earth is an annual event which features live performing artists and talks given by famous environmentally conscious people (Al Gore is in this year’s lineup) to raise awareness about environmental issues. Peta’s letter to Bachchan equates serving meat at a festival about improving eco-friendly relations to giving out cigarettes at an anti-cancer event. Ouch! Point taken.

“On behalf of PETA, India and all our members and supporters, we respectfully ask you to kindly ensure that no meat is served at the event by urging the event’s organisers to honour the spirit and goal of Live Earth by serving only vegetarian food, ” said Peta’s Chief Functionary, Anuradha Sawhney, in a letter to Bachchan.

“By doing so, you will send a strong message, that people can save the planet simply by changing their dietary habits. After all, selling meat at a concert to benefit the environment would be like selling cigarettes at a cancer charity fund-raiser.”

“We also hope that you will take the opportunity to talk about the benefits of a vegetarian diet during the event, thereby educating millions of people watching worldwide. The animals and the environment would thank you – if they could – for taking such a noble step on their behalf.”

Some celebrities expected to perform include Will.I.Am, Anoushka Shankar, and Bon Jovi.

Life In A Metro UK Film Premiere - Inside Arrivals

Just because the election is over, doesn’t mean you have to wait awhile to exercise your rights. Petadishoom, the youth Bollywood version of Peta, is holding it’s second annual Sexiest Vegetarian Contest.

Lots of hot Bollywood celebrities, like Mr. Abraham pictured here, are in the running, including Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Shahid Kapoor, R.Madhavan, and Mahima Chaudhary. There are even some Hollywood people running on the ballot, including Alicia Silverstone and soon to be singing star Joaquin Phoenix.

Last year, Kareena Kapoor and R.Madhavan got bragging rights. From the list above, they’re running again, but with all the drastic political upsets that took place in the U.S. on Tuesday, there’s no telling what could happen.

So do your duties. After you’ve finished salivating over the picture of John, of course. Need to have a clear mind before making important decisions.

Shamita Singha Likes It Spicy And Meatless

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 3rd, 2008 in Bollywood, Models, TV Hosts.

Miss India Earth 2001, Zoom VJ, and model Shamita Singha is causing quite a fire with her new ad for PETA. She’s lying in a bed of red chili peppers wearing nothing but…well, red chili peppers.

“I turned vegetarian when I was quite young because I realised that if I really love animals, then I can’t eat them,” she said in an interview with Petadishoom.

Not only does this model not eat animals, she doesn’t use products that are tested on them either.

Funny, we always thought habanera was one of the hottest peppers, until now. This one is definitely off the Scoville Scale.

Shamita Singha Never Uses Animal Tested Products

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 in Bollywood, Models, TV Hosts.

Shamita Singha is probably best known for being Miss India Earth 2001, but she didn’t rest on her laurels.

The model and professional wine-trainer is currently anchoring the show “Maximum Style” on Bollywood’s Zoom Television. She’s been active with PETA, and if you’re interested in reading her interview with the group, go here. “I have been an animal-welfare activist since school,” she told The Deccan Herald. “I never use animal-tested products.”

Although naturally beautiful, she still considers herself a fitness fanatic, eating lots of fresh produce and staying away from what she calls, “junk.”

She’s undecided about whether or not she wants to become the next Bollywood babe actress, but she’s open to the idea. Women will love her for her advice: She recommends dressing comfortably as long as you’re not sloppy and eating right and exercising while remembering that not everyone is supposed to be a size 0. If you’re interested in learning what else Singha is doing these days, read this story.

Bollywood’s Jiah Khan Trying To Be Vegetarian, Urges To Cut Glass Manja

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 in Actresses, Bollywood.

Bollywood actress Jiah Khan is not a vegetarian, but has an interest in becoming one. Lately, she’s been teaming up with PETA to urge people in India not to fly kites with glass coated strings which cut birds while they’re in the sky. Apparently this is popular to do during kite flying festivals like Makar Sakranti and Independence.

Khan dressed up as a bird and held a kite that read “Cut out glass-coated manja, not wings.” Manja, of course, being the word for “string.”

Khan is a lover of animals, which may explain her desire to someday go veg, having both cats and dogs as pets.
