“This is something very personal. I changed because something inside me made me want to change. These are very personal choices, which can only be made by yourself; nobody else can force them on you. So I will never profess such a thing because it is an individual decision.”

—-Shahid Kapoor, on his decision to go vegetarian, as quoted by Indian Express.

Kareena Kapoor Playing Love ‘Em, Veg ‘Em, And Leave ‘Em?

Comments Off on Kareena Kapoor Playing Love ‘Em, Veg ‘Em, And Leave ‘Em?

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?

Although She Doesn’t Care…Kareena Kapoor Won Sexiest

Comments Off on Although She Doesn’t Care…Kareena Kapoor Won Sexiest

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.

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.”

How Bollywood’s Kareena Kapoor Is Spending Her Christmas

Comments Off on How Bollywood’s Kareena Kapoor Is Spending Her Christmas

“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!

Rajneesh Duggal Finds France A Foe When Needing Meatless Food

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#$*!
