Anushka Sharma, Kartik Aaryan named India’s hottest vegetarians of 2018 by PETA
Anushka Sharma and Kartik Aaryan
As Anushka Sharma celebrates her first wedding anniversary with husband Virat Kohli, PETA has something up their sleeve as a surprise for the actress. According to votes on the official website of People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Anushka Sharma and Kartik Aaryan has been named India’s Hottest Vegetarians.
This is the second time when Anushka has bagged the title. Her first was in 2015.
She was also named PETA India’s Person of the Year in 2017. She recently starred in an ad campaign for PETA India, in which she was heard saying: “I Am Anushka Sharma, and I’m a Vegetarian.”
Among other things, Anushka has been very active in supporting animals as she recently announced plans to open an animal shelter near Mumbai, launching the PAWsitive campaign to raise awareness that animals suffer when people set off loud firecrackers, and successfully helping to demand a ban on cruel horse-drawn carriage rides in Mumbai.
In a statement, she said, “Going vegetarian was one of the best decisions I ever made. I have more energy, I feel healthier, and I’m so happy that no animals had to suffer for my meals.”
Meanwhile, Kartik said it only took one video of animals suffering and dying in the meat industry to convince him to go vegetarian. He said, “The kindest thing anybody can do for cows, pigs, chickens, and all animals is to stop eating them.”
