Today is World Vegan Day. We are not judging you if you do not know about veganism. It is never too late to learn new things in life. First of all, being a vegan is different than being a vegetarian. In veganism, apart from not having any kind of meat, one also abstains from having any dairy products. As per The Vegan Society, Veganism is "a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose".

World Vegan Day is celebrated every on the first of every November. The event was established in 1994 by Louise Wallis, then Chair of The Vegan Society in the United Kingdom, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the organisation. Well, coming to the point. Many of our Bollywood celebs have seen the beauty of going vegan. Many switched to a vegan lifestyle and continue to inspire their fans to do the same. We are listing down 8 of the HOTTEST Bollywood celebs who are enjoying the perks of veganism.

Vidyut Jammwal

When people ask me where I get my protein from, I tell them (I get it from) exactly (the same place that) herbivorous animals like elephants, horses, and rhinos do: plants," Vidyut has earlier said. "Being vegan helps me keep fit. I love the way I feel," he concluded.

Aamir Khan

As per reports, Aamir's decision to go vegan was prompted by a video that his wife Kiran Rao showed him about 15 most common diseases that cause death and how a diet change can prevent them.

Esha Gupta

Esha has said in 2015, "Going vegan is the best thing one can do to help stop animal suffering, protect the environment and safeguard your own health. I want to share the wonderful feeling with everybody I know.”

Sonam Kapoor

Sonam said in 2017, " I’ve been vegetarian for many years, but I became vegan this year. I believe in making compassionate choices. So much so, I am having soya milk coffee now, I don’t even have dairy…”

Jacqueline Fernandez

Talking about her lifestyle, Jacqueline has said, “I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and many other animals. Hence, I’ve always loved them and they make a huge difference to my life. I truly believe in beauty without cruelty!”

 

Kangana Ranaut

In 2015, Kangana switched to a vegan lifestyle, though she didn't commit to it fully back then. "While I cannot make that switch from a dietary vegan to an ethical vegan at this point. I would be happy to do that at some point," she said.
