Meet The Proud Vegetarian - Amrita Rao

The wonder girl Amrita Rao, a proud vegetarian, has shot for a new pro-vegetarian advertisement for animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India.
The 30-year-old looks casual in a pair of shorts and a clingy T-shirt that reads ‘Powered by Tofu’ in the ad, through which she proclaims: “I Am Amrita Rao, and I Am a Vegetarian”.
“I call being vegetarian the Wow Rao diet. Wow because I know that being vegetarian is the best thing I can do for myself, the animals and the environment,” Amrita said in a press statement.

“Pulses can get pulses racing, while corpse cuisine slows you down. Kick the meat habit and you’ll look and feel better than ever,” added the actress, who featured in films like Main Hoon Na and Vivaah.
Rao joins a growing list of celebrities like Lara Dutta, Pamela Anderson, Shahid Kapoor, R. Madhavan and Anil Kumble, who have teamed up with PETA to promote a healthy vegetarian diet.  Source

Madhavan Is 100% Vegetarian

Actor R Madhavan has taken the early lead in PETA India’s annual Hottest Vegetarian Celebrity poll. Madhavan, a longtime PETA supporter, says, ‘For me, being a vegetarian is about being compassionate. I love animals, so I would never eat them. Having a healthy heart is a great bonus, but I’d rather people think of me as having a good soul and a kind heart.’
R Madhavan has taken up the cause of chickens and has written to food chain CEO David Novak on behalf of PETA urging him to stop killing the birds.
‘I am sure you’re a compassionate person who agrees that animals, whether they are dogs, cats or chickens, should not be abused and that working to stop this unnecessary cruelty should be a top priority,’ Madhavan wrote.
‘Please use your unique position to stop the worst abuses of these sensitive birds by making the improvements suggested by PETA and the food chain’s own former animal welfare advisors,’ he added. Source
