Bollywood stars often inspire fans with their impressive physiques, sparking curiosity about their fitness routines and diets. While protein is vital for good health and meat is a common source, many A-list celebrities have opted to eliminate meat, eggs, and dairy from their diets in favour of a vegan lifestyle.
These plant-based meals not only promote better health but also support environmental sustainability and animal welfare. As we observe World Vegan Day on November 1, if you’re contemplating a switch to veganism, these celebrities might just provide the inspiration you need.
Akshay Kumar
Not just an actor and producer, Akshay is also a martial artist and fitness enthusiast who has been inspiring fans with his physique for years. It’s no surprise that he follows a vegan lifestyle, focusing on meals that are healthy and packed with nutrients.
Sonam Kapoor
For her kindness towards animals, the Raanjhanaa actress was named PETA India’s Person of the Year in 2018. Not only does she support animal rights, but she has also ensured that her fashion brand, Rheson, is free from animal materials.
Kangana Ranaut
She adopted a vegan lifestyle in 2013 for environmental reasons and has been outspoken about it ever since. She never shies away from showing her support for animal rights and was even titled PETA India’s Hottest Vegetarian Celebrity of 2013.
Richa Chadha
She initially followed a vegetarian diet before transitioning to veganism. Richa often promotes plant-based meals and even partnered with PETA for a campaign where she inspires others to adopt a vegan lifestyle.
John Abraham
John became vegan due to his love for animals, believing that good health doesn’t require harming them. The actor often expresses his affection for animals and has even appeared in a campaign for Mercy for Animals, urging people to stop cruelty to animals.
Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh
Bollywood’s much-loved couple made the switch after their son Riaan questioned how they could eat chicken while loving their dog. Since then, they have shared the health benefits of their lifestyle and even launched their own plant-based meat brand, Imagine Meat.
