Amitabh took up meat, grains, alcohol, and smoking for his health, and he has been named the ‘hottest’ vegetarian by PETA three times. “I merely ceased eating non-vegetarian cuisine on my own, not for any medical, health, or religious grounds,” Amitabh once said. It simply happened, and I’m leaving.”
Kangana Ranaut
According to accounts, with her spiritual journey in mind, she became vegetarian and even vegan, and PETA named her the “hottest” vegetarian.
