Kareena Kapoor Sexiest, But Why Do People Care?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, February 15th, 2009 in Actresses, Bollywood.

People sometimes harp that the PETA ads for vegetarianism have little to do with eating vegetables and more with objectifying woman. Now one their “Sexiest” is even questioning the point of the contests.

“I fail to understand who makes these lists?” Kapoor said after receiving the India Today Woman Award presented by Erin Brockovich. Yes, THE Erin Brockovich, the real life busty and brainy woman who Julia Roberts played in the 2000 movie based on the real story of how an everyday gal exposed a company for their anti-environmental practices.

“Instead of featuring on these lists, I would rather receive awards such as the India Today Woman Award,” Kareena added.

Kapoor was a winner in the arts category, who said this of her achievements.

“I believe in inner strength-that’s why I was able to reach where I am. There may be competition and negativity but if you have an inner belief you can reach your goals and fulfil your dreams.”

U2’s Larry Mullen Jr. Found Morocco A Mess For Veg Eatin’

Music Industry Trusts' Awards 2008 - Inside

Bollywood actor Rajneesh Duggal was stuck eating veggies and rice every day after discovering France wasn’t the vegetarian mecca of the world during his visit.

He’s not the only one who feels the pain of trying to stick to your eating habits while overseas.

Larry Mullen, Jr., drummer for the band U2, described the food as being less than pleasant when he visited Morocco years ago.

“Bono had been talking about this religious festival and he mentioned it to me, thinking that I’d shoot it down. And I said, “Actually, that’s a good idea, I’d like to go back to Morocco.” The last time I was there the food was shite. I was vegetarian, full-blown, verging on vegan, and so it was a difficult time. But underneath all the cultural shock I enjoyed it. So i was happy to go back. I felt musically it would be a very good thing.”

How Bollywood’s Kareena Kapoor Is Spending Her Christmas

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 in Actresses, Bollywood.

“Mom, Lolo and I believe in the power of the Mt Mary’s Shrine. I am very religious and Christmas has always been huge in the family. We decorate the Christmas tree, attend the Midnight Mass and then have a Christmas dinner on December 25 replete with roast turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, vegetables and plum pudding for dessert and the traditional goodies that come with it. I am not non vegetarian so I won’t be able to have the roast turkey but I can have the side dishes.”

If you’re celebrating Christmas this holiday season, how will you be doing so? Unlike Kareena, do you have the Tofurky at the table or are you destined to eat side dishes?

Chime in and let us know your plans!

More Sex Symbol Tips From Mallika Sherawat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, December 20th, 2008 in Actresses, Bollywood.

mallika-sherawatEarlier in the week, we told you how Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat thinks being a sex symbol is hard work-no partying, early bedtime, and strict vegetarian diet.

She has revealed more on her diet and reasons for going vegetarian. Instead of cow’s milk, she gets dairy from soya, cashew, and almond 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.”

She is also into natural foods and whole grain chapattis, a type of unleavened flat bread in India.

So what are you sex kitten wannabes waiting for? You should be rushing to the store for almond milk already.

“Being [a] sex symbol is [a] lot of hard work, and requires Spartan discipline. I work out, I don’t go to parties, I do not smoke or drink alcohol, I am Vegetarian and I am asleep by 10pm.”

—-one of the most popular quotes by Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat, whose real name is Reema Lamba.

She’s starred in Indian films such as Khwahish and Murder, for which she won Best Actress at the Zee Cine Awards in the Indian film industry.

She’s not only sexy, but smart too, as she obtained a degree in Indian philosophy from Miranda House, Delhi University.

Based on her description of what it takes to be a sex symbol, a.k.a. living the non-hardcore party life, sounds like all of you straight-edgers are pretty darn sexy!

Rajneesh Duggal Finds France A Foe When Needing Meatless Food

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, December 18th, 2008 in Actors, Bollywood, Food & Drink.

240_rajneeshMark Ruffalo isn’t the only actor to experience the horrors of finding good vegetarian food while traveling abroad.

Rajneesh Duggal, Bollywood actor who made his debut in the film, 1920, survived on steamed rice and vegetables for five days from a Chinese restaurant located across the street from the hotel he was staying in Paris, France, because he couldn’t find vegetarian food elsewhere.

But that’s nothing compared to his dining in experience with colleagues at an Italian/French cuisine restaurant.

Poor Duggal couldn’t find anything vegetarian on the menu.

“All my friends began ordering non-vegetarian food, while I was busy seeking for some vegetarian food in the menu, but all in vain. I was starving and seeing them enjoying the food made me even more hungry.”

His friends, who no doubt felt sorry for him as they chowed away on their meaty entrees, suggested he find something with eggs or fruit. Finally, after discussing with the waiter his problem, the restaurant chefs had specially made Banana crepes prepared.

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.
