Bollywood celebrities have always been a major source of inspiration when it comes to having a healthy lifestyle. Not just that, we are often intrigued by their fitness journey and diet plans as well.
There's an assumption that eating non-vegetarian food or meat can help one stay fit. However, a few celebrities gave it all up for several reasons and turned vegetarian for life. These actors have been practising it for quite some time now. If you are looking to switch, take a look at these eight celebrities who turned vegetarian.
1. Shraddha Kapoor © Instagram/Shraddha Kapoor
Back in 2020, PETA named Shraddha Kapoor the ‘hottest’ vegetarian. She also took to Instagram a few days back and spoke about not consuming meat. While she received a lot of flak in the comments, Shraddha remains a vegetarian. In her journey, she was inspired by PETA's cookbook, and she mentioned that she is a smart eater but can't give up food completely.
2. Shahid Kapoor © Instagram/Shahid Kapoor
Shahid Kapoor is not just known for his immaculate acting skills, but he is also someone who has a hardcore fitness regime. But, did you know that even Shahid is a vegetarian? The actor gave up eating meat after reading Brian Hines, Life Is Fair. It was gifted to him by his father, Pankaj Kapur, and his name also came in Asia's ‘sexiest’ vegetarian back in 2011.
3. Riteish Deshmukh © Instagram/Riteish Deshmukh
Riteish Deshmukh and his wife Genelia turned vegetarian a few years ago. The couple also has a venture named Imagine Meats, which makes plant-based meat, and it is a good substitute for non-veg food. In a post, Riteish said, "I have been a hardcore meat eater who turned vegetarian 4 years ago. Let me be honest there have been times when I have craved the taste and indulgence of meat. With Plant-Based Meat around, I am a much happier vegetarian now. I would rather just imagine meat."
4. Amitabh Bachchan © Instagram/Amitabh Bachchan
Amitabh Bachchan was also named the ‘hottest’ vegetarian celebrity, not once but thrice by PETA. The actor is known for making healthy choices, and he mentioned that he gave up meat along with rice, aerated drinks, smoking and alcohol for health reasons.
5. Kangana Ranaut © Instagram/Kangana Ranaut
Kangana has also been named in the Hottest vegetarian PETA title and gave up meat, despite being born in a typical household that thrives on eating non-vegetarian food. In an interview, she said, "Spiritually, being a non-vegetarian was blocking me. It was hard to leave and I won't say that I don't crave it, but you can do it with your willpower." She also mentioned that she turned vegan as well since dairy gave her acidity.
6. Aamir Khan © Instagram/Aamir Khan_FC
There was a time for Aamir Khan when he used to relish eating fish, chicken, eggs and meat. But, after a while, the actor turned vegetarian and not just that, he turned vegan and also gave up dairy. All this happened after his ex-wife, Kiran Rao, showed him an impactful video, and it changed his diet plan and lifestyle.
7. R Madhavan © Instagram/R Madhavan
For the unversed, even R Madhavan is a vegetarian. In fact, he was named 'Person Of The Year' by PETA. He is passionate about nature and has spoken about growing tasteful herbs and veggies in his kitchen garden. Madhavan said in an interview, "I'm a vegetarian. When you see what goes inside a slaughterhouse, I think you'll lose your appetite for animal flesh too."
8. Bhumi Pednekar © Instagram/Bhumi Pednekar
A vocal person about environmental protection, even Bhumi Pednekar turned vegetarian amid the lockdown. In a post, she spoke about how she wanted to turn vegetarian for a long time, and she could finally do that. She also added, "My journey with Climate Warrior taught me a lot. It made me more compassionate towards other species and made me more humble."

Dil Bechara was probably the best tribute that Sushant Singh Rajput got by Mukesh Chhabra and the entire team. As the movie completes one year of its release, Sanjana Sanghi who marked as the lead actor has penned a long emotional note with unseen pictures.
She wrote, “And today, as we complete 1 YEAR of Dil Bechara (!!) becoming yours forever, all I have in my heart is unsurmountable heaps of gratitude for the kind of love, admiration and support you all have bestowed on our film, and the deep embrace you have given me over this year. It’s fuel for the soul. It’s what makes this vulnerable, emotional and magical journey of being an actor absolutely surreal.”
View this post on Instagram
The actress further wrote, "Each of your letters, your sketches, your remembering every dialogue, remembering every scene, and celebrating every milestone has made this tough journey that has been ridden with loss become a little more bright & sparkly. Thank you, for taking care of our film and celebrating it in ways we couldn’t ever even dream of. It has truly been the greatest privilege & honour that has ever been bestowed upon me to discover myself as an actor in portraying Kizie Basu, the Indian Hazel Grace Lancaster from a novel I’d read an endless number of times as a teenager. And the opportunity to do that in the guidance of so many creatives geniuses made it unforgettable - Mukesh, Sushant, Rahman Sir, Rucha, Setu Sir, Swastika, Shashank Sir, Shashwat Da, Pritam Da, Sahil.”
Sanjana Sanghi concluded her post saying, "Staying true to Kizie’s core yet making her a whole new person, has been one of the most unique, uphill but satisfying challenges life has ever thrown at me, every bit of which has helped me grow and evolve, as a person & as an actor. Like every milestone, this one too, is first yours. THANKYOU, from the bottom of my heart. #ThinkingOfYou @sushantsinghrajput.”
Dil Bechara is the official Hindi adaptation of author John Green's popular novel The Fault In Our Stars.
People commented under Sanjana’s post saying they miss Sushant and the movie will also be seen as one of the legendary movies of all the time.

We really hope that wherever Sushant is, he is at peace.

For most couples out there, the part where you have to reach out to your back pocket and pull out a pack of condoms to use is perhaps the most annoying moment of the entire act.
A speed breaker in an otherwise well-paced and passionate make-out, a condom despite being of prime importance in keeping you safe from any future surprises is usually not as exciting as one may think.
But what if I told you that there is a way to change that?

What if using condoms isn’t as boring anymore? What if the condom you’re putting on has more to offer than just safety? We are talking about using flavoured condoms here, the kinds that might just help add some spice and obvious flavour to your *** life.
You see, most people run under the impression that protection is only important during penetrative ***. Whereas the truth is, unprotected oral *** is just as dangerous, especially since it is enough to make you contract an STD. Which is why using condoms during oral *** is wise.

And when those condoms are flavoured, you’re not just signing up your girl for something yummy, but also something new and exciting.
Explore your sexual palette and introduce some fragrant and delicious with a condom that does more than just shield.
Here are some of our top picks:
1. Mango View this post on Instagram
This condom boasts the freshness and richness of mangoes, perfect for this season and the one you would be experiencing in the bedroom.
This flavour is likely to make any woman not let that man-go anywhere!
2) Chocolate View this post on Instagram
A taste which would melt in the mouth, leaving your woman wanting more, chocolate is perhaps the safest flavour to experiment with. The sweeter it is, the spicier things are to get under the sheets...
3. Banana View this post on Instagram
Falling under unpopular opinion yet never failing, as the name suggests, this flavour will most definitely make your girl go bananas.
All it would take is for you to peel and put it on, before your partner starts to feast on you!
4. Cocktail View this post on Instagram
As flirtatious in taste, as the name suggests, the cock-tail flavoured condoms are a mix of strawberry and vanilla marks for the perfect fusion and foreplay.
Don’t be surprised if you’d get high on this one, for this is like a party in the mouth!

Vidya Balan has often found herself at the receiving end of people trolling her for her body. She is someone who has touched upon topics like beauty standards, body positivity and has shared some experiences that were not so pleasant. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kanan, she revealed how a female actor criticized her for her fashion sense and she wanted to give her back.
View this post on InstagramVidya said, “One actress I remember told me something about my dressing sense. I wanted to turn around and tell her, ‘First, why don’t you focus on your acting?’”
On being asked if Vidya said anything to her in response, she said no. “Jab unhone mujhse yeh kaha (When she said this to me), I was so stunned that she had the gall to say something like that to me, because it’s none of her business, that I came out feeling like ‘what just happened',” she said.
“And then I thought to myself, ‘Kapdo ke baare mein baat karna bohot aasaan hai, actor agar ho toh thodi si acting bhi kar lo (It is easy to talk about clothes, but if you are an actor, then at least act a little),’” she added.
It’s high that people start recognizing talents than pinpointing them for their bodies or clothes that they choose to wear.
View this post on InstagramVidya has given powerful performances and many cannot even touch her position as an actor because she is a master of the art.
Vidya Balan, who stepped into Bollywood with the critically acclaimed film Parineeta, is best-known for featuring in movies such as The Dirty Picture, Kahaani, Guru, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Mission Mangal, and Lage Raho Munna Bhai, among others. She was last seen in Amit Masurkar’s Sherni, in which she played the lead role of a field forest officer named Vidya Vincent.
View this post on InstagramVidya’s short film Natkhat is among the Indian films that are in the race for Oscars 2021 in the Best Short Film (Live Action) category. She hasn’t only played the lead character in the movie but is also of the producers of the movie.

There is still more than a week left in the start of the Test series against England but the action has already begun, obviously not on the field but on social media. Ahead of the series, Barmy Army -- a group of England cricket team’s supporters’ group -- has taken it upon themselves to rile up the Indians with their unnecessary comments on social media.
However, their recent tweet taking a dig at Indian skipper Virat Kohli has backfired and ended up becoming a laughing stock, thanks to a fitting reply from former India opener Wasim Jaffer. The England supporter’s group shared an old picture of Kohli where he had a bow and arrow in his hand and was aiming for the target, with Jaffer standing in the background.

“BREAKING NEWS Virat is out of the upcoming Test Series as he's in Tokyo preparing for the Archery,” Barmy Army captioned the post on the micro-blogging site, which irked many Indian fans.

Known for his wit and humour, Jaffer came up with a savage reply and shut them down using an epic meme from the movie ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and as usual the fans were in complete awe of his sense of humour.
When it comes to memes, Indian supporters are not too far behind and never leave any opportunity to participate in a meme fest.
Here’s how they reacted:

— BitterSweetSymphony (@PluviophilePoet) July 24, 2021With a view to give a final shape to their preparations, India played a three-day warm-up game against County Select XI in Durham but skipper Kohli and his deputy Ajinkya Rahane missed the encounter due to minor niggles. Kohli had complained of some stiffness in his back, while Rahane missed the tie because of mild swelling around his left upper hamstring.
However, the good news is Kohli seems to have recovered and has even started training and Rahane is also expected to be fit before the series opener in Nottingham.

But not all is good for Team India as they have lost three players Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar and Avesh Khan due to injuries. Several reports have claimed that the selectors have decided to send in Prithvi Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav to England as replacements.
Both Shaw and Yadav are currently in a bio-secure environment in Sri Lanka with the second-string Indian team, and they were chosen as replacements because it will allow them a safe bubble-to-bubble transfer.

Although men are slowly inching towards taking better care of themselves and investing in products like face masks, scrubs and serums, lip products like lip balm, lip oils and lip scrubs are still not very popular among men.
However, these are basic skincare products that are essential to keep your lips soft and healthy.

Skipping on a lip balm is the biggest skincare mistake you could be making.
You can pretend like you don’t need a lip balm, but in the end, no one wants parched and cracked lips. They look unappealing and can get worse as the weather makes them drier and chapped.
© iStock
If you have been using antiseptic creams like Boroline or rubbing your moisturiser on your lips to soften or hydrate them, this is your cue to stop and invest in a good lip balm for yourself.
Here are four reasons you absolutely need a lip balm and use it regularly:
1. It Keeps Your Lips Moisturised © iStock
The very basic function of a lip balm is to keep your lips moisturised. The skin on the lips is even more sensitive than that of the face and thus needs extra care.
Moisturised lips equal soft and supple aka presentable pucker.
2. Cures Chapped Lips © iStock
Extreme weather can zap the moisture off of lips and leave them chapped and cracked. If you experience peeling or bleeding lips during winters and summers, you cannot skip on a lip balm.
Get a lip balm with healing natural ingredients like aloe vera and coconut oil and use it daily to nurse them back to health.
3. Regenerates Cells © iStock
Certain ingredients like Vitamin E and shea butter are known to revitalise skin cells in lips which help lighten dark lips and keep them supple and hydrated.
For those who smoke, lip balms with such ingredients can help lighten lips and make them look healthier.
4. Protects from UV Rays © iStock
A lot of lip balms now are infused with SPF that not only keep your lips nourished and soft, but also keep the radical damage at bay. Sun exposure can make lips drier and darker.
Use an SPF-infused lip balm to keep your lips healthy and protect them from sun damage.

Mirabai Chanu won India’s first medal at Tokyo Olympics with a silver in women’s 49kg weightlifting on Saturday, the first official day of action at the Games.
View this post on InstagramThe entire nation was proud of her win and so was Tisca Chopra but her tweet backfired at her as she mistakenly used the photo of the Indonesian weightlifter Aisah Windy Cantika to congratulate Mirabai Chanu.
Check out her now-deleted tweet:

People were quick to judge her and troll her brutally. One of the users even called her ‘Alia Bhatt Pro Max’ and another user said that Darsheel Safari wasn’t dumb in Taare Zameen Par but it was actually her.

Thousands of athletes have assembled in the Japanese capital city Tokyo to participate in the biggest sporting extravaganza on the planet. Normally held every four years, the Tokyo Olympics was postponed by a year after the coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc all over the world.
On the opening day most of the Indians were on cloud nine after weightlifter Mirabai Chanu gave the country a dream start by winning a silver medal in the 49kg event. On the other hand, our arch-rivals Pakistan were making the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Their contingent was heavily criticised for flouting COVID-19 rules and regulations during the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony on Friday. While their flag-bearers pulled down their masks as they took part in the Parade of Nations, some were wearing it over their chin while others had covered just their mouth not the nose.
© Reuters
The country with a population of around 22 crore people sent one of its shortest-ever contingent to the Olympics -- with only 10 athletes qualifying for the mega event, who will be competing in nine different sporting events.
Former Pakistan batsman Imran Nazir shared a collgae of country’s 2012 Olympic contingent and this year’s group, which could be counted on fingertips. Slamming his own leaders and the authorities who were responsible for the decline of sports in the country, he said they should be ashamed of themselves.
This is actually sad. Just 10 athletes from a country of 220 million people.
To everyone who is responsible for Pakistan's such decline in sports , SHAME ON YOU! pic.twitter.com/4qkqC1cj7N

“This is actually sad. Just 10 athletes from a country of 220 million people. To everyone who is responsible for Pakistan's such decline in sports , SHAME ON YOU!” Imran Nazir wrote on the micro-blogging site.
Since everyone blaming institutions in control of sports in 🇵🇰, how many ppl here tk responsibility of supporting athletes in our country? Mention any athlete who needs financial assistance, let’s see if any group or individual can help them achieve their dreams. RT#Olympics

Look at the irony, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was one of the most celebrated cricketers of his generation and given his expertise and love for sports most people expected him to revive the sporting culture but sadly it has only gone down since he took over.
© Reuters
Instead of focusing on improving the sporting infrastructure in Pakistan, Imran Khan was more interested in mocking the Indian cricket team when they lost to New Zealand in the World Test Championship final in Southampton last month.
“A small country like New Zealand of 5 million people has just won the World Test Championship against India which has 1.3 billion people. This is because they have a very good system of bringing up talent and polishing that talent,” the Pakistani PM was quoted as saying by TimesNow News.
Irony is ....The PM is a sportsman

— Naraaz Ahmed (@boyzpledwell) July 24, 2021Pakistan’s last Olympic medal came way back in 1992 Barcelona Olympics when their men’s hockey team won the bronze medal, while the last individual was a bronze won by boxer Hussain Shah in the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
Unlike Pakistan, India is going through a boom in the sporting sector and it was visible when the country sent a record 120 athletes to Tokyo Olympics, which is three more than the 2016 Rio Games.

Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. He has been arrested for being a key conspirator in a case related to the alleged creation of pornographic films and publishing them through mobile apps. Raj and 10 others have been taken into custody.
Raj Kundra has been booked under sections 420 (cheating), 34 (common intention), 292, and 293 (related to obscene and indecent advertisements and displays) of IPC besides relevant sections of the IT Act and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.
View this post on InstagramShilpa was given a clean chit by the cops who said that they couldn't find any evidence against her or prove the fact that she was involved in the case. Now, as per a report in ANI, she said that she was unaware of the content on Hotshots.
She also said that there is a difference between 'erotica' and 'pornography', and said her husband was not involved in producing pornographic content.
View this post on InstagramHis lawyer Abad Ponda, while defending his client Raj Kundra made an argument in court that the content that was published on the app can be tagged as vulgar and not porn.
He had said, “The IT Act sections can't be read with IPC sections, but here the police have done this. Section 67A of the IT Act talks about sexually explicit acts. Only the actual... intercourse can be considered porn. Rest all is just vulgar content.”
View this post on InstagramWhat do you have to say about the entire care? Let us know in the comments section below.
Well, this is not the first time that Raj has grabbed the limelight for the wrong reasons. Back in 2013, it was reported that Raj was in touch with seven bookies and placed bets on his team through three IPL seasons. Both Raj and Shilpa owned a cricket team in the Indian Premier League that suffered a bad end because of the IPL betting case.

A second-string Indian team defeated Sri Lanka 2-1 on their own turf in the just-concluded three-match ODI series and it was only possible because the country has an impeccable bench strength. From Prithvi Shaw to Suryakumar Yadav, from Suryakumar Yadav to Deepak Chahar, players grabbed the opportunities with both hands, leaving the team management spoilt for choices.
© Reuters
Amidst all this, there was Manish Pandey whose international career was on the line but he couldn’t make most of the opportunities and now the questions are being asked if he would play for India ever again.
When India made six changes in their Playing XI for the third and the final ODI, head coach Rahul Dravid gave Pandey yet another chance while leaving the match-winners from the previous game on the bench, raising many eyebrows.
After winning the Player of the Series award, Yadav was asked about what he thought of the management’s decision to give Pandey another go in the third ODI to which he replied: “It wasn’t my call and I didn’t get involved in that”.
© Instagram Suryakumar Yadav
“That was completely team management's decision, I did not get involved in that. Manish Pandey has been batting really well as we saw in the practice games. We played intra-squad matches as well. In the last game, he was batting really well, but he got dismissed in an unfortunate way. This is not my call so I really do not know about it,” Yadav told reporters after the third ODI, which India lost by three wickets.
Pandey managed 26, 37, and 11 runs in the three innings and he perhaps was the biggest disappointment for many experts, including former India opener Virender Sehwag who opined that after a disappointing series he has fallen behind the pecking order so much so that we might never see him don the Indian jersey ever again.
“Here was an opportunity for Manish Pandey and even Hardik Pandya () for that matter. Both had scored some 15-20 runs so they disappointed me more. In this three-match series, if anyone got the most benefit, it was Pandey. He played all three matches, and got the chance to bat, and on all the three occasions, the situation wasn't challenging either, that he had to accelerate,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
"So, I believe Pandey has disappointed me the most. Perhaps he may no longer get a chance in ODIs for India, and even if he does, it is going to be a long time. Since he lost the opportunity to score in these three matches, he's fallen behind in the pecking order. Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have scored runs so these two will be considered ahead of him in the middle order.”

After the ODI series, the focus now shifts to the shortest format and it will be interesting to see if Dravid continues to show faith in Pandey or give other youngsters a chance in the Playing XI.

If you have been waiting for the big surprise as to who will be hosting the Bigg Boss OTT, the wait is finally over. There were many names like Sidharth Shukla, Farah Khan, Rohit Shetty that we’re doing the rounds but VOOT has finally ended the suspense. The digital mini version of the most popular show will be hosted by none other than Karan Johar.
Karan also took to Instagram to confirm the news that he will be hosting the new version of the show. Speaking about this venture Karan said in a statement that it's his mother's dream come true. “My mom and I are huge 'Bigg Boss' fans. As a viewer, the show keeps me entertained with dollops of drama. For decades, I have always enjoyed hosting shows and now with 'Bigg Boss OTT', the experience will be over-the-top. It’s my mother’s dream to come true. 'Bigg Boss OTT' will undeniably have a lot more drama,” said Karan.
He added, “I hope I can live up to the audience’s and my friends’ expectations, make Weekend Ka Vaar with the contestants an enjoyable affair in my own style, and up the ante on the entertainment quotient.”
View this post on Instagram
It will premiere on 8 August on Voot and he will anchor Bigg Boss OTT for the six weeks run on the streaming platform.
People have lost their cool on social media and have already declared it a super flop show. Well, the boycott army is already on alert and doesn’t want Karan to host it.

People are also bashing the show with memes that highlight how the content will not be able to make a mark and only star kids will be a part of this show. One of the Twitter users also expressed that Carry Minati should roast it.
