Bollywood actors Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma have topped the list of the hottest vegetarians of 2015, released by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. They beat competitors, including Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut, Shahid Kapoor, R Madhavan and Dhanush. The winners were selected by visitors to PETAIndia.com, who had cast their votes to help the organisation decide.
Aamir Khan decided to go vegan after his wife Kiran Rao showed him a video about eating healthy. Vegas refrain from using any animal products and by-products like eggs, dairy, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps. “At the end of it, I was convinced that vegans are way ahead of non-vegetarians and even vegetarians,” Aamir said. “It is very important what you eat, as that is what you are. So it’s very important to make sure you’re eating enough vegetables and drinking enough water, which I’ve always done,” Anushka said in a statement.
PETA India manager Sachin Bangera said both the actors are the perfect example of “fit vegetarians” and “they're inspiring millions of their fans to try plant-based foods.”
