Vegetarian Star

Like many vegetarians who travel to a country different than their home, Shahid Kapoor is a little nervous about finding decent food in Bangkok.

Shahid was scheduled to leave today for Thailand to begin filming for a Parmeet Sethi film.

Shahid recalled the last time he was in the U.S. for 40 days, his assistant had to work extra hard to make sure chefs cooked everything to his preference, as he’s a vegetarian who has some vegan streaks in him, like not eating eggs.

Does Shahid’s right hand man know about Happycow.com, where he can find dozens of vegetarian eateries in Bangkok, or anywhere else in the world?

Wishing Shahid best of luck.

Hunger sure gets in the way of good acting.

Globalgrind.com, founded by vegan Russell Simmons, has compiled their list of “Hottest Bollywood Babes” and vegetarian Mallika Sherawat is included.

“Mallika Sherawat is by far the baddest of all of the Bollywood women. She’s also hailed at Bollywood’s twitter queen. In an exclusive interview w/ the Examiner she reveals a few makeup and diet tips & more saying “I go all organic vegetarian, lot of fruits and water! I workout daily, the usual “star” stuff:) I get plenty of sleep, I think that helps, too. And I never go outside without my parasol to lessen the sun rays to the skin. Yes, my friends make fun of me but I know it works, and what works on camera works for me:)”

Mallika even goes so far as to shun dairy, getting her calcium from almond, cashew and soy milk.

“I have been strictly vegetarian ever since I can remember,” she said. “I am against the concept of killing an animal to eat it.”

Although she’s currently gearing up to debut her fashion line, A*Muse, at New Zealand Fashion week, Pamela Anderson has expressed an interest in going to India and gracing the silver screen there.

“I’m really looking forward to coming to India,” Anderson said of her plans to travel. “And I’d also love to be in a Bollywood movie.”

“Indian men are hot! Especially the vegetarian ones. You know, nothing is hotter than compassion.”

Bollywood has its share of vegetarian stars, including Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, and Mallika Sherawat.

Gorgeous Pam would have no problem fitting in-beauty or dietwise.

“If she tells me to eat non vegetarian, I would not like it. Similarly, I would not tell her to leave non veg if she likes to eat that. Anyways this is a personal decision.”

—-Shahid Kapoor, when asked if he would tell his girlfriend to go vegetarian during an interview where he described his ideal girl.

Bollywood actress Asin Thottumkal has turned down PETA to promote vegetarianism.

“After I entered the film industry, I restricted my non-veg diet to fish and chicken,” she said. “I can’t, however, remain without non-veg food even for a single day. Therefore, it won’t be proper for me to involve myself in the campaign against non-vegetarian food.”

So this gal is no Kareena Kapoor or Mallika Sherawat.

But a big question burning in our minds is: Didn’t PETA do a background check?

Sure, the guys are excited to get celebrities naked, or uh, have celebrities promote a healthy and compassionate diet and lifestyle, but do they think before inviting them to take off their clothes, or uh, star in pro-vegetarian ads?

You would think the group would target well known celebs who don’t flip flop about their diet, like Kareena or Mallika, for example.

It’s great PETA wants to feature as many celebrities as possible in their campaigns, but they must be careful to choose those with the strongest convictions with a solid history of sticking to their principles.

Otherwise, we get these Naomi Campbell, “I’d rather go naked than wear fur”,… “Oh, wait. Who am I kidding, I still dig fur,” spokespersons.

Amitabh Bachchan is a longtime vegetarian and PETA wants him to encourage others to do so by serving only vegetarian food at an India International Film Academy (IIFA) event in Macau, China next month.

After all, the theme for the event is “Go-Green,” and what environmentalist doesn’t know by now that meat isn’t environmentally friendly.

PETA India chief functionary Anuradha Sawhney sent a letter to Bachchan containing the following statement:

“We were thrilled to hear that this year’s IIFA Awards are going to have a ‘Go Green’ theme, and we commend you for helping to once again draw attention to the global climate crisis. On behalf of PETA India and all our members and supporters, we respectfully ask you to serve only green (vegetarian) food at the event.”

“By doing so, you will send a strong message that people can save the planet simply by changing their dietary habits.”

Do you know any environmentalists who really haven’t “gone green all the way” yet? Are they missing the connection between wasted land and energy in raising farm animals for human food consumption (not to mention other animal consumption)?

Get in the game and drop them a little note like the one sent to Bachchan! Some one’s gotta remind them that meat’s not green!

We already told you how Ingrid Newkirk of PETA said vegetarians and vegans should date omnivores to bring them over the their side and then dump them to move on and convert someone else.

We even joked that Natalie Portman might be doing this to Rob Pattinson.

But it looks like Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor really follows the rule.

Kareena became vegetarian while dating fellow Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor, but the two later broke up. Kareena and Shahid are still both veg, though, and Shahid even put his dog on a vegetarian diet.

Now, Kareena is involved with a guy who is, in her words, “hard core non-vegetarian, who at every given step would be eating his steak and his roast chicken.” But that’s not affecting her eating habits. From the Times of India:

“I did it completely because I believed in it. It’s because of a book I read and I completely believe in. Nobody has put a dagger to my head. I’ve learnt something from Shahid and that’s something that Saif appreciates and in fact Saif always tells me that “Listen, if now you go back to being a non vegetarian, I’ll loose faith in you as a person.” I’ve traveled the word with Saif and he’s sat across thousands of tables from me and I’ve stuck to my French fries even though I have to put on a kilo on my scale, but I would not go for the roast chicken.”

So Kareena came around on her own. But it looks like her past loves played a role. Will Kareena bring her new man over to the veg side? And will the poor soul be left behind once he gives up his steak and roast chicken?

We mentioned earlier that Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor said she couldn’t understand the point of the “sexiest vegetarian” lists that she constantly makes.

But news is news and the sexiest are here. Kareena won World’s Sexiest Vegetarian, along with her male counterpart Sreesanth in the annual contest held by PETA India.

Lots of people cared about R Madhavan, Aditi Gowitrikar, Vishal Dadlani, Kailash Kher, as well as Alicia Silverstone, Pamela Anderson, Hansika Motwani, Mallika Sherawat, Mahima Chaudhary, Rajneesh Duggal, Sir Paul McCartney and Moby.

But unfortunately for the runners up, people didn’t care enough to cast their votes for them.

“When you look at the dozens of gorgeous celebrities in this year’s poll, there are no bones about it – a vegetarian diet makes you beautiful inside and out”, says PETA India’s Anuradha Sawhney.

Congratulations to the sexiest. For whatever the list is worth.
