We turn the spotlight on B-Town stars who’ve given up eating meat for a variety of reasons – from health to compassion.

Kangana Ranaut

The Queen actress has been having a great run of late. She says her positivity comes from her healthy lifestyle and vegetarianism is a big part of it. Kangana turned vegetarian once she moved to Mumbai, looking for a break in Bollywood.

Shahid Kapoor

He’s gorgeous proof that vegetarians can have great bods. Shahid was inspired by dad Pankaj Kapoor to turn vegetarian and is such an ardent advocate of the no-killing diet, he’s even converted friends and colleagues.

Kareena Kapoor

She used to be a chicken tikka-loving Punjabi gal. Then Shahid Kapoor came into her life and, apparently, convinced her to go vegetarian. Kareena now says that’s what accounts for the great shape she’s in.
