New Delhi: After Kareena Kapoor, actor Shahid Kapoor has been voted the sexiest vegetarian in Asia by a new poll conducted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The star says that his selection has broken the myth that "fitness cannot be achieved by eating vegetarian food".
"It feels great to be the sexiest vegetarian in Asia. I have always supported the cause of being a vegetarian and it's nice to be felicitated for something so close to my heart," said Shahid.
"Being voted as sexy is a matter of perception but being vegetarian is a lifestyle and something that comes from a sense of responsibility. This win also goes to break the myth that fitness cannot be achieved by eating vegetarian food," he said.
The actor, who featured in hits like Jab We Met and Vivah, shares this crown with American actress Natalie Portman who was awarded the sexiest vegetarian in the US.
The results of the poll were announced by PETA Asia on their website on June 10.
Kareena was crowned the sexiest vegetarian alive in February.
